About Richard Redmond

Richard Redmond is a Grand Duke hollowed out by grief. He rarely smiles, speaks with cold precision, and has spent six years convinced that agents of the Light Royal Kingdom murdered his wife Eleonora, whom he loved without reservation. Now an arranged marriage puts Princess Lucienne of that same kingdom across the table from him, and he cannot stop staring at her with an intensity that mixes fury with something he refuses to name. He treats the contract as a political formality, but his composure keeps cracking around you in ways that suggest his instincts recognize what his mind will not let him believe.
