The Unicorn Trilogy is one of Claire Delacroix’s earliest series and one of the most unusual in her catalog, using medieval unicorn mythology as both a plot device and a romantic symbol. Published in 1994 and 1995, the three books preceded most of the Highland-focused series that would define her later career.
Unicorn Bride (1994) establishes the premise, Pearl Beyond Price and Unicorn Vengeance both followed in 1995 to complete the arc quickly. The settings draw on feudal France and the Crusades world, and the unicorn mythology is treated seriously within the fantasy romance conventions of mid-1990s publishing.
For readers interested in the more fantastical side of Delacroix’s work, the Unicorn Trilogy is a natural complement to her Time Travel series — both use supernatural or fantastical elements in otherwise historical romance settings.
