   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.
