description: Aspiring young naturalist Celeste Rossan is determined to live a life of adventure and scientific discovery. But when her father loses everything Celestes hopes of ever leaving her home town are dashed until she sees a narrow opportunity to escape to Paris and attend the 1867 Exposition Universelle. Celeste seizes her chance but the elements overwhelm her before she can make it five miles. In desperation she seeks refuge in an abandoned chateau only to find herself trapped inside the den of an unknown species: a predator with an intelligence that rivals any human. Its the discovery of a lifetime. Or it will be if Celeste can earn the beasts trust without losing her nerve  or her heart  to her in the process. The Misadventures of an Amateur Naturalist is a queer historical fantasy for adventurers of all ages.
