About This Series
One hundred days before his coronation, the Crown Prince of France must fulfill an ancient covenant between the royal family and the House of Delacroix, Franceâs most celebrated musical dynasty. For years, the Delacroix daughters have been raised knowing that one of them will become his bride. Then the prince makes an impossible choice. âI choose TimĂŠo Delacroix.â TimĂŠo is their younger brother, a world-famous pianist who has spent his life belonging to music rather than politicsâand the one Delacroix child never prepared to be chosen. With a single sentence, the prince overturns two sistersâ futures, throws an old covenant into crisis, and binds TimĂŠo to a world he never asked to enter. One has belonged to the nation since birth. The other has belonged to music. As the prince teaches TimĂŠo what it means to carry a country, TimĂŠo teaches him something the palace never could: what it means to be free. But as an ancient covenant becomes the princeâs most powerful weapon for rewriting the order he was born to inherit, TimĂŠo begins to realize that his place beside him may never have been accidental. Because long before politics put TimĂŠoâs name within reach, one fleeting glimpse of a boy at a piano may already have changed the future of the crown.
