Butterflies fluttered around him like a cloud of wings before finding places to land. They settled everywhere—on his clothes, his hands, his nose, his ears, his lips, his hair—covering the boy entirely. Once they found a spot, they folded their wings and remained perfectly still.

Jonas was six months old when he was found in the forest, naked and covered in blood. His foster parents soon realized that there was something special about the child: he possessed an extraordinary connection to butterflies. As an adult, Jonas sets out to uncover the truth about his mysterious origins. Why did his parents abandon him in such a brutal fashion? What kind of supernatural power lies hidden within him?
In his quest to dispel the shadows of the past, Jonas meets the vibrant and successful Nelly—and discovers that they share far more in common than either could have imagined. It turns out that Jonas’s bizarre story is part of a vast, sinister conspiracy that plunges the young pair into a life-threatening adventure.
*The Butterfly Boy* is a gripping thriller that explores the boundaries of human consciousness—a realm that encompasses both heaven and hell. The story’s central motif is the migratory butterfly; their mystical capacity for transformation mirrors the innate human desire to trace one’s own roots. How do these butterflies manage to find their way back home—to a place they have never visited before, the very spot where their ancestors once emerged from their chrysalises? The fourth novel by Swedish author Peter Stjernström is a fantasy—with elements of horror—about scientific experiments, strength and weakness, loneliness and friendship; it offers an unexpected perspective on humanity’s eternal pursuit of immortality.
