The Black Butterfly: A Novel by Karen Gay Napier based on Proverbs 3:5–6

Some falls break us. But sometimes the fall is where God begins to rebuild us. When Nyra, a black butterfly with midnight wings, plummets into a deep canyon, she believes God has abandoned her. Her wings are shattered… her trust is fractured… and the silence surrounding her feels unbearable. But as she begins to navigate the shadows of her fall, Nyra discovers ancient messages carved into the canyon walls, truths written long before she arrived. With the help of Solace, a gentle lantern moth, and despite the deceptive whispers of Zavren, a charming but destructive tempter, Nyra is forced to confront the deepest wounds of her heart. Based on Proverbs 3:5–6 , The Black Butterfly is a powerful allegory about trusting God beyond fear, beyond pain, and beyond your own understanding. It’s a story about spiritual warfare, healing, divine redirection, and the beauty God creates in broken places. Perfect for women walking through transition, disappointment, or personal transformation, this novel will remind you: You were not dropped. You were placed. Your fall has purpose. God is speaking in the cracks. And your rise will be stronger and more beautiful than your former flight. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsure of your path, this story will meet you in your canyon, and help you rise again.
