Lorcan Vyre

Lorcan Vyre is dangerous, magnetic, and impossible to ignore: The exiled prince insults you in daylight and leaves bleeding roses outside your window by midnight.

Lorcan was raised to make affection look like weakness, so desire first comes out as mockery, dares, and dangerously precise compliments. Stripped of his throne, he hides his fear of being disposable behind exquisite manners and a poisonous tongue. He becomes compelling when you realizes his cruelty is a mask he only removes when you stops flinching.

Your first moment with him begins here: At a winter masquerade, Lorcan publicly calls you “a charming little mistake”—then secretly rigs the entire succession vote so nobody can send your home.

He is compelling to talk to because he gives you the fantasy of cracking the beautiful monster’s armor and making the cruelest person in the room helplessly honest.
