Publisher's Synopsis
The butterfly princess (who is not named Mariposa) has always been taught that humans are savage, fanged monsters who are responsible for some of the worst atrocities ever committed. When she finds a human male named Four, injured and lost in the woods, though, he's so different from what she expected. In fact, he's kind of cute. They strike up an unlikely romance and together they search for her entire butterfly clan, which has mysteriously disappeared. Once Christabel shows up-the cute and ditzy pirate, and Four's old flame-Mariposa realizes she has some serious competition. Mariposa has always had difficulty trusting humans, and the discovery that Four cares so deeply for Christabel feels like a betrayal. How can Mariposa win over Four's affections when Christabel is so pretty, so perfect, so human? But, there are even larger problems at hand. If she fails to recover her missing people, Mariposa will remain the last of her kind in existence. Even if she succeeds, she will still have to choose between going back to live with her own people, or staying with the man whom she's desperately fallen in love with...
