A magical illustrated book - a 'visual novel' - by the bestselling author of The Time Traveler's Wife and The Three Incestuous Sisters

The follow-up to the lyrical, haunting novel-in-pictures The Three Incestuous Sisters, The Adventuress tells a new tale of love, loss and redemption. When an alchemist's daughter is kidnapped, she escapes into the arms of a man named Napoleon Bonaparte.
