Claire Delacroix began publishing medieval romance in 1993 with the Rose Trilogy, a set of three books steeped in the Norman and High Medieval period, and has been adding to her catalog at a consistent pace ever since. Her work is focused on the pleasures of historical romance — strong heroines, complicated knights and lords, settings drawn from Scottish clan life or the Crusades or the English nobility — with the occasional departure into science fiction through the Prometheus Project books.

The range within her medieval work is considerable. The Unicorn Trilogy (1994-1995) draws on the mystical side of the Middle Ages, using unicorn mythology in a romance context. The Jewels of Kinfairlie (2005-2012) are lighter, more comedic Highland romances, each centered on a different sibling of a Scottish family. The Champions of Saint Euphemia (2015-2017) bring the Crusades into focus, with a series of knights taking vows and finding love in Jerusalem-era settings. The Rogues of Ravensmuir trilogy is darker — brothers with complicated histories and scarred loyalties making difficult choices.

Delacroix has also been prolific in shorter and collected formats, with multiple short story collections, anthologies, and holiday novellas running alongside her full-length series. She writes with craft and consistency, and for readers who enjoy the medieval romance tradition she offers an unusually large and varied body of work to explore.
