Claire Delacroix’s short story collections offer a more compact version of the medieval romance she writes at novel length, gathering novellas and shorter pieces that work within the same historical settings and character types as her full series.
Beguiled and Highland Heroes both appeared in 2014, a year when Delacroix was also publishing multiple full novels. An Elegy for Melusine (2015) followed with a title that draws on medieval French folklore — Melusine being a figure from French legend — gesturing toward the mythological register that runs through her work.
The three collections are useful for readers who want a shorter introduction to Delacroix’s range or who have finished her main series and want more material from the same world.
