Book One of The Delacroix Chronicles
The Delacroix name rules France.
Their empire is feared across Europe.
Their enemies bow before them.
But behind the walls of Château de la Lune, they are simply a family.
When Don Sebastian Delacroix and his wife, Geneviève, welcome their youngest child into the world, no one realizes that the little girl will change the destiny of one of Europe's most powerful dynasties forever.
Diagnosed with autism at a young age, Diana Delacroix grows up surrounded by the unwavering love of her parents and six fiercely protective brothers. While the world underestimates her, her family gradually discovers that Diana possesses an extraordinary mind, an exceptional memory, and a quiet ability to notice what others overlook.
Then, at just eight years old, an innocent observation sets off a chain of events that exposes a betrayal hidden within the Delacroix family for years.
A betrayal that will create an enemy determined to destroy everything they love.
As Diana grows from a quiet little girl into the heart of the Delacroix family, she will learn that loyalty comes at a price, love demands courage, and even the most powerful empires can be shaken by the truth.
In a world built on power, blood, and secrets...
Sometimes the strongest person is the one everyone underestimated.
The Moon of Delacroix is a slow-burn, family-centered mafia saga about unconditional love, loyalty, betrayal, lifelong friendships, and the extraordinary bond between a father and his daughter.
