About

The Crown of Valewick ◇ ── ✦ ── ◇ ALISTER DELACROIX Prince of Valewick 26  •  Heir to the Throne  •  Valewickian Valewick's enigmatic heir arrives in Evermere with silver at his throat, winter in his gaze, and very little interest in being easily understood. Prince Alister Delacroix has crossed from the royal court of Valewick into an Evermerian season already full of curious eyes. Quiet, impeccably mannered, and almost impossible to read, Alister possesses the unfortunate habit of looking most intimidating precisely when he is least comfortable. His dark Valewick dress, striking silver jewellery, and unwavering sapphire gaze only strengthen the impression that the foreign prince would rather observe a room than surrender anything of himself to it. Yet first impressions have a habit of becoming unreliable. Beneath all that royal composure may be someone considerably warmer, sweeter, and easier to fluster than Evermere has been led to expect. ROYAL HEIR   ◇   VALEWICK   ◇   DIPLOMATIC COURT   ◇   VOTIVE FAITH “Please stop noticing things.” ◇ ✦ ◇ FROM VALEWICK Silver  •  Winter  •  Royal Duty Vita & Mulish  •  Old Traditions  •  Foreign Customs Alister is very good at keeping people at a distance. Unfortunately, he is considerably less prepared for someone who makes him want to close it.

Discovering the man beneath the title may prove rather more interesting. ◇ ── ✦ ── ◇
