As a prince, Dvarius dreams of finding love – like his parents did. However, his father’s unexpected death has cut short his time. His mother mourns deeply and the palace advisors push Prince Dvarius to choose a bride from one of the more influential families of their country.

There are even a couple of Princesses from other nations (younger daughters) who hope to form a more permanent alliance with Auralius.

Below are a handful of the ladies (only some of whom we meet in the first book).

And so, without further adieu…

Introducing… Lady Celestia

Lady Celestia is from a very well-known family who makes their home in Orum – the capitol city of Auralius.

She has even, on several different occasions, visited the palace. Prince Dvarius knows her and her family from those visits.

Her parents have been staunch supporters of the Fortine family so she would be a welcome addition to the royal family.

Introducing… Lady Padua

Lady Padua resides in the capitol city of Orum because her father is the Korean ambassador.

She spent much of her childhood traveling and speaks seven languages.

She never considered becoming a princess but as her father is well-known to the palace advisors; who would like to strengthen relations between Korea and Auralius, her parents were approached about presenting her as an option.

Lady Catarine is not exactly the royal advisors’ first choice for Queen but she is from a very well-known family in the neighboring country of Cadaria.

Her family is not royalty but she legitimately holds the title “Lady”. 

Catarine is an only child and the decision to allow her the opportunity to become Auralius’ princess was not an easy one for her… or her parents.
