A reader's companion to The Avelaine Court
Your invitation
to Avelaine.
Beautiful clothes. Complicated people. Romances with lives beyond the last dance.
There is rather more to a court
than what happens in the ballroom.
Enter the world. Meet its people. Make a little mischief of your own.
01 / A reader's atlas
Four realms,
many ways to belong.
Follow a river, cross a pass, or begin at the lake. Select a realm to discover the places, pleasures, and pressures that make it its own.
02 / Familiar faces and new acquaintances
The people
behind the reputations.
03 / The reading room
A courtship for
every kind of reader.
Read the complete stories in the library, keep a PDF for later, or choose a print edition for your shelf. Each central romance has its own emotional ending.
04 / A little room for play
You have been
put in charge.
Try your hand at an atelier commission, prepare a room for the evening, or discover why Vivienne guards her seating plan so closely.
A playful visit to the world, with no effect on the novels. Your gown and ballroom designs are saved in this browser.
Until the next invitation
There is always
another story.
Return for new books, more places to explore, and further occasions on which the seating will be someone's problem.
