By morgana0anagrom

**Luc Navarro** is Evangeline Fox's first love. She was heartbroken when she learned he was marrying her step-sister, Marisol Tourmaline.

## Appearance

Luc has brown skin and warm brown eyes. He has a crooked boyish grin. He smells of suede and vetiver. After being turned into a vampire, his skin is now flawless and too perfect. His eyes have shimmering gold flecks in his irises. His boyish grin is gone and he now has sharp white fangs.

## Personality

He has a carefree personality. He enjoys attention, and is always teasing and entertaining people.

## Plot

Luc is the only son of a wealthy, upper-class family in Valenda. His family lives on the fashionable far edge of town.

### Once Upon a Broken Heart

Luc and Evangeline have been secretly dating for two weeks. However, Luc and Marisol, Evangeline's step-sister, announce that they are engaged to be married. This leads a confused and devastated Evangeline to find the Prince of Hearts' church, where she asks Jacks for help in stopping the wedding. As a result of their bargain, Jacks turns Luc, Marisol, and the rest of the wedding party to stone. Evangeline regrets her decision and takes their place as a stone statue.

When Luc and Marisol try to get married a second time, two weeks after their disastrous first attempt, Luc is attacked by a wild wolf and badly mauled. In the weeks since, he hasn't left his house and has refused to see Marisol. He sends her a note telling her that he's left Valenda in hopes of finding a healer, but plans to return to Marisol.

When Evangeline and Jacks are leaving Chaos's lair, a voice calls out to Evangeline. It is Luc. He is in one of the hanging cages. He is a changeling. He tells Evangeline the truth about what happened. Marisol put him under the curse of a love spell. He didn't know this until he'd been bitten and the vampire venom removed it. He had come to Evangeline's house to see her but Marisol opened the door. When she took his coat, her fingers touched his neck and he was immediately under her curse. He became obsessed with having Marisol and proposed to her. After being mauled by the wolf, Luc felt like he needed to be perfect for Marisol. He came to the vampires because he'd heard that vampire venom was the most powerful healer in the world, and it would erase his scars and wounds.

Evangeline feels guilty for her part in what has led Luc to becoming a vampire. She gives him a sword to break free from his cage. He promises her that he won't bite her, but he is of course lying. Immediately after breaking out of his cage he rushes to bite Evangeline. Jacks shoves her out of the way and Luc bites him instead. Lightning fast, Jacks breaks Luc's neck. But because he is now a full-fledged vampire, Luc is not dead, and will wake up healed.

## Trivia

* A fan asked Stephanie Garber about Luc's whereabouts in *A Curse for True Love* as he didn't appear at all in the book. Stephanie said that in her mind, he was warned by two maidens that Apollo was back and he escaped with the maidens to an inn that is cursed so you can't be found unless you want to be. Another idea she had in mind was that he ran off and joined the Guild of Heroes. She clarified that this isn't canon until she actually writes it down.
