ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn tells the story of Veronica Speedwell, a lepidopterist, who finds herself embroiled in a dangerous mystery after her guardian's death. Veronica's quest for independence is interrupted when she discovers that the Baron von Stauffenbach, a friend of her late guardian, was murdered. This leads her into a world of intrigue, secrets, and political conspiracies, where she learns her true parentage and the forces that seek to control her. She is joined by a mysterious and brooding taxidermist, Mr. Stoker, as they navigate the complex web of lies and deception, and uncover shocking truths that threaten to destabilize not just their lives, but the British monarchy itself.
