Publisher's summary

Can a born killer change her world for the better?

Specially developed for the audiobook platform, this dark fantasy uses narration, music and songs to send a strong ecological message about our treatment of nature.

Butterfly has been genetically designed as an assassin, and is driven by murderous urges that she is unable to control. Making her way through the Paradise of Rain, a mysterious forest recovering from the ravages of a nuclear war, Butterfly unquestioningly pursues her quarry, while fending off the attacks of the strange woodland creatures who try to stop her in her tracks.

Everything changes when Butterfly finally catches up with her prey. She discovers a terrible truth about her origins, and realizes she must change her destructive path.

The future of the entire forest lies in her hands. Can Butterfly untangle the genetic threads of her fate and save the Paradise of Rain?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story and music work very well together

I was intrigued by the fact it was narration and music, and a bit surprised that everything worked together so well. The music parts actually tell the story, which is quite unusual. The main narrator has a very relaxing voice, and the whole thing was actually quite relaxing to listen to.

A story about identity with monsters

The narrator does a good job at bringing this world to life and I liked all the descriptions of the monsters. The story is about a kind of butterfly girl finding her identity and it jumps when it goes from the story to the songs, but I liked the music and will listen to it again.

Must listen!! Instrumentals are superb.

I've never listened to a story that involved music and vocals before, but I have to say that I was pleasantly engaged and enjoyed the story. It's entertaining but also carries a captivating story with enchanting vocals and instruments. I highly recommend for anyone who's looking to experience a unique story that also carries an important message.

The first audiobook musical?

This falls somewhere between an audiobook, a rock opera, a musical and an audio drama. I thought it would be cheesy, but it's quite cool. The story is simple and there's not much character building so it's more of a dark fairy tale or fable. I would have liked more layers to the story. but overall I enjoyed it.
