Is Julian Legend In Caraval Novels & Stories

Caleb was a boy playing with matches; Julian was the inferno. Julian wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me flush against him. He looked out at the crowd, then down at Caleb. "Allow me to reintroduce my wife," Julian announced, his eyes cold and deadly. "Mrs. Vivian Thorne." Gasps erupted. A wine glass smashed somewhere in the back. "Wife?" Chloe shrieked, forgetting her act. "That’s impossible! She was engaged to Caleb this morning!" "And he discarded her," Julian said smoothly. "One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Although..." He looked at Caleb with a sneer. "Only a fool throws away a diamond to pick up a piece of glass."

"Nice work, Lanka. You handled that harpy Paige perfectly." "A harpy?" Julian adjusted his glasses. "She’s the type who keeps her nose so high she can smell the clouds while stepping on everyone beneath her. A common pest in the higher packs." I turned to Julian. "You’ve dealt with her before?" "A few times in legal circles. We aren't close." "But Ms. Gardner seems to have a massive crush on you, Master Park," Carllo teased, his eyes darting between us. Julian’s smile widened slowly, his expression growing thoughtful. "Perhaps. But my heart is already set on someone far more deserving of my attention, and it certainly isn't Paige Gardner."

“Like how this all started.” “A girl.” Marley glanced at Milana. “It’s always about a girl.” Carey smiled at them. “What girl?” Milana asked. “Juliana.” Marley’s voice was soft, as if saying her name out loud could disturb the energy in the room. “Who’s Juliana?” Carey narrowed her eyes at Marley. “What? It’s true. Kelley lost his head the day she died.” Milana looked up at that. “Kelley?” “Marley!”

Jared stared at Julia with a hint of doubt, "Have you and Carter ever celebrated before?" Julia's pupils suddenly dilated. Yes, she never had a lover in her previous life, but the original owner of her body and Carter might have already celebrated Valentine's Day. At that moment, Jared smelled something fishy from Julia's trance. "Ahem—don't mention him. Mentioning him spoils the mood." Julia changed the subject with a smile, "Are you not angry now?" Jared slightly raised his chin and pressed his thin lower lips tightly. He looked like he was thinking deeply.

"You already are, child.. You just don’t know your price yet." Cassian caught Lysandra’s wrist as she fled—his thumb brushing the ink stain on her pinky. "Run," he murmured. "Just not too far." Julian stayed behind, downing his wine. "Tell her the truth, Cass," he called after them. "The price for Drevane daughters is always the same: their future." <<< ✦ >>> They finally stopped. At least, to a place they won't be seen for sometime. "Julian got engaged last night," she said, sinking onto the Persian rug. "To a Van der Linde daughter. Grandma’s doing the champagne toast at noon." "He looked hollow. Like a man signing his own death warrant."

“You? Flirt? Please, I’d pay good coin to see you seduce a vase.” “I did once,” Julian said solemnly. “At my cousin’s bonding banquet. It was carved like a goddess. The resemblance was uncanny.” Callum coughed, trying to suppress a laugh, and Ingrid groaned. “Gods help me.” Julian gave her a wink. “Don’t worry. You’ve got me now.” The two of them descended the marble staircase with glittering ease—Ingrid radiant in gold, Julian grinning like the crown prince of flirtation. Their laughter trailed behind them, parting the gallery’s hushed air.

"Stand up, Julian. You're ruining my silk gown." "I cannot stand, Cassandra! I am crippled, but I love you! The love you see in Jennifer Jones's eyes is my true love for you! I was blinded by fear of reputation. I was fooled by Elena and her father! But ever since I saw you again, since I thought I would lose you in Paris—I knew you were everything!" Julian crawled slightly closer, clasping her feet. Julian looked up, his eyes pleading. "I truly regret everything, Cassandra. I love you. Be my wife, Cassandra Vance, not Jennifer Jones."

"And you know what that means, Xavier." Violet looked at Xavier again. He looked to be in deep thought with the way he worked his jaw. He shook his head in denial. "What does it mean?" She dared to ask since no one was ready to talk. "It can't be," he breathed as realization dawned on him. He looked up, "she can't be." Larissa pulled a grin, enjoying the look of denial and shock on his face. She couldn't believe it at first but it was the most obvious theory. The fun is about to begin. "Your mate is a faerie."

In the original novel, the Lunar Key was the very thing the villainess Scarlett had stolen from Caleb, leading to her eventual execution. "I don't have it," she whispered, her mind racing. "Maybe not yet," Caleb said, stepping closer again and placing a hand over her heart. "But Julian thinks you do. Which means you are in more danger than I am. From now on, you do not go anywhere without me. You are the marked mate of the Lycan King. Act like it."
