    Summary

    She was a piece to be moved, not a player to be heard.

    ​Sent to the Red Keep to tether Oldtown’s loyalty to the Iron Throne, Leyton Hightower arrived expecting the chill of stone corridors and the sharp edge of political pragmatism. She had armored herself in duty, prepared for a life of quiet compliance and transactional marriage.

    She did not account for Prince Baelor Targaryen.

    Summary

    Baelor Targaryen has carried the weight of what he survived for so long he no longer remembers how to set it down.
    Lady Alysanne Darry has spent a lifetime being told her hands were never meant to carry anything at all.

    A political marriage between them should have been simple.
    It is anything but.
    A character-driven slow burn about trust, trauma, desire… and the ruin neither of them expected.

    Summary

    Most of Brynna Blackmont's skills are fairly useless as a Targaryen's prince's much younger, politically arranged second wife.

    Except maybe these.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra had told him about her marriage tour. About the long hours on the ship and the even longer ones spent sitting before the sea of suitors who had come from every corner of the kingdom to fight for her hand. About the endless chatter full of grand words that actually meant very little. About how lords and ladies from every corner of the realm had come forward to compete for the hand of the princess and heir to the Throne.

    More to secure the Throne than to win the princess.

    Jace now found himself in the same situation as his mother.
    When, at eighteen, he still showed no interest in taking a husband, his grandfather, or more precisely, Queen Alicent and the King’s Hand, Otto Hightower, had suggested subjecting him to the same torture as Rhaenyra.

    Or marry Aegon.

    But Jace would have slit his own throat before marrying his uncle.
