    Summary

    They call it a game. But Princess Elaenys Velaryon knows it is not a game, and if it was it was a dangerous one. One wrong step means the delicate thread that ties her new husband to her mother’s side should a war break out, to the Black side rather than the Green, is broken. But in matters of the body, of life and death, and loyalty: lines were due to blur. She anticipates it. Resigns herself to it.

    If he wanted obedient: she would give it. If he wanted piousness, Elaenys would give it. She would give anything if it meant her family was safe. Elaenys just does not anticipate that the richest man on their side of the world, the most powerful man without a Dragon, a man who prided himself on his faith and his seat…was just as depraved as he claimed they were.

    Summary

    Dragons were supposed to die; at least that is what was expected. When Daenys was born, an egg, thought to have turned to stone, was placed in her cradle and hatched. Changing the course of House Targaryen forever.

    Daenys didn't want to marry, but she had to. She had been told since she could walk that the future of House Targaryen was in her hands, but she was well aware that it was more dependent on her ability to reproduce. She had managed to avoid matches with her brothers, and when her cousin Valarr married off to a Tyroshi woman, she mistakenly assumed that her marital prospects had dimmed. However, she was later betrothed to her uncle, the heir to the throne, whom she had always trusted. Daenys, burdened with a dynastic fate, can only hope to find happiness in the midst of her duty.

    Summary

    Now they must face something much greater: duty and destiny. But they will do it as they always have, together. And this time: with their two wives by their sides.

    Summary

    The Prince of Dragonstone had long lived in shadow, bound fast to duty and the weight of the realm. Responsibility had shaped him, grief had tempered him, and honour had taught him to reach for nothing beyond what was required. Yet in the quieter turning of his days, he found himself drawn – against sense, against discipline – to the light that seemed to gather about the Princess of Dorne.

    Perhaps it was something in the blood, for even dragons, in the end, turned instinctively toward the sun.

    Summary

    Jena Dondarrion dies giving birth to Matarys, leaving Baelor with only one living son. He refuses to marry again, and determines to live his life in mourning.

    Eleven years later, Maekar's eldest daughter is widowed. King Daeron decides that it is his turn to cause problems and so the best possible way to handle the resulting diplomatic incident caused by Maekar is to marry his newly widowed granddaughter to his widower heir. Exactly no one is happy about this.

    (Now with added exploration of gender divides and sexism in Westeros because I physically cannot help myself.)

    Summary

    Daenys Targaryen, only child of Prince Aerys Targaryen, has spent her life being shaped by other people’s expectations: daughter, princess, wife.

    But in the aftermath of the Tourney of Ashford, with the realm still reeling from sickness and a fragile succession, fate turns toward a branch of House Targaryen no one expected to inherit. When the crown passes to her father, Daenys is asked to become something far greater than anyone imagined.

    Westeros is not kind to women with power, and the Iron Throne casts a long shadow. As court politics tighten around her and rebellion gathers on the horizon, Daenys must navigate grief, duty, desire, and prophecy.

    When chase turns into love, no one can stop them. Potential matches are ruined, scandal rises at court, and fate changes. Baelor does not perish at Ashford. A greater king than Jaeharys the Conciliator awaits the Seven Kingdoms, and he is madly in love with his niece.

    Summary

    There were so many ways for a man to burn. Anger. Shame. Lust. Love. A body knew heat in all its tongues. But cold had only one language.

    Jena Dondarrion is wed to Baelor Targaryen, a prince the realm calls perfect. She shares his bed, his name, and bears his children, but his warmth comes to her haunted by a ghost. Maekar Targaryen has spent his life believing his brother the better man, until goodness begins to look like another kind of coldness.

    From wedding bed to Blackfyre rebellion to Ashford Meadow—Jena is made a vessel for peace, Maekar a weapon for war. Both learn how little of a body is left after duty is done with it. What remains of them finds each other in the empty Baelor's virtue leaves behind.

    A sister dies. A secret is buried.

    To keep Rowena’s son safe, Sharra Royce builds her life on a lie—one that costs her everything. Ten years later, her reputation is in ruins, but the boy lives on, hidden in plain sight at Runestone, loved and protected.

    It was supposed to stay that way.

    Summary

    Nothing could have ever sundered him. Not his father’s iron will, or this ill-fated arrangement, and most of all, the venom carried by courtly tongues.

    Not even the sight of her, bare and shining for him.

    “You hate me, as the rest do.”

    “Trust me,” he answered softly, “this is no hatred.”

    Summary

    A second marriage is not always a second chance.

    For Alerie Redwyne, it is duty dressed in silk. For Prince Maekar Targaryen, it is another burden laid upon old grief. Neither comes to the marriage willingly, and neither expects comfort from the other.

    But the dead do not loosen their hold easily, and the living are not always wise enough to keep their distance.

    Summary

    Rose was supposed to go to work.
    Instead, she died and woke up in the world of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

    Armed with modern sarcasm, zero survival skills and far too much knowledge about what’s about to happen at Ashford, her only goal is simple:
    -Stay out of it.
    -Do not interfere.
    -Absolutely do not get involved with princes.

    Which would be easier if Baelor Targaryen would stop looking at her like she’s something worth knowing.

    Summary

    There was never any one thing the realm could agree upon, save for the match of Prince Baelor Targaryen and Lady Lynora Baratheon. Raised at the court in King’s Landing for most of her childhood, the young lady and the crown prince were nigh inseparable, and the Seven Kingdoms anticipated the day their betrothal would be announced.

    Until the day Lady Lynora was suddenly whisked away from the Red Keep to be placed upon the arm of another, and Prince Baelor was set to wed the Lady Jena Dondarrion instead.

    The Scorned Storm, as Lynora was oft referred to in the whispers of lords and smallfolk alike, remained in relative seclusion for almost two decades, until her younger brother Lyonel wrangled the twice-widowed storm into accompanying him to a tourney at Ashford Meadow — whereupon she is faced with the Breakspear once again.

    More than blood will be spilled at this tourney as a conspiracy spanning years and kingdoms is brought to light, and a love that never was rekindles again — only perhaps too late.
