Bound together by love and loss, each child carries pieces of both their parents — and each, in their own way, reflects the quiet resilience of the Laurent family.

Born and raised in Arbourleigh, Norland’s capital, Bastien, Émile, and Juliette Laurent have grown up surrounded by both privilege and complexity. The children of Finance Minister Beau Laurent and Delphine Moreau, their lives have unfolded beneath the quiet weight of political legacy, personal heartbreak, and public scrutiny.

At 16, Bastien is the steady one — mature beyond his years, brilliantly sharp, and often the quiet observer in the room. Émile, at 13, leads more with his heart than his head, often swept up in the full force of his emotions, but always deeply loyal to the people he loves. And at 7, Juliette remains a light within the family — vibrant, curious, and full of energy, finding joy in even the smallest moments.

Though still young, the Laurent children carry their own quiet roles within a family navigating both public and private storms — each shaping, in their own way, what the Laurent name will one day mean.

Britt Wolfe

Britt Wolfe writes emotionally devastating fiction with the precision of a heart surgeon and the recklessness of someone who definitely shouldn’t be trusted with sharp objects. Her stories explore love, loss, and the complicated mess of being human. If you enjoy books that punch you in the feelings and then politely offer you a Band-Aid, you’re in the right place.
