    Summary

    She followed his lead, got to her knees and lit a candle. Ran her fingers through the flame and let her shoulders slump.

    She turned to him, mouth flat. “What will you pray for?”

    He looked at her, hair darker than the flame, the bump of his nose small. He said nothing, but he never looked away. It was enough.

     

     

    The hate gets suffocating after a time, threatens to choke her between the silks of her bed and let the meat from her bones rot until she is unrecognizable. Hating the Queen has made Rhaenyra into a different person, more dragon than girl, her skin turning from satin to scales. Hating her half-brother has made her into a tyrant, willing to kill a babe if it meant the threat of disinheritance would disappear.

    But hating the Queen’s brother, it has made her so much worse.

    Summary

    Lady Elaena Lannister is betrothed to Prince Maekar Targaryen as part of a fragile political alliance meant to bind the Westerlands and the Iron Throne. Thrown into the heart of King’s Landing’s court, she struggles to navigate a world of constant scrutiny, shifting loyalties, and unspoken threats within the Red Keep. What begins as a cold and political arrangement slowly evolves into something far more dangerous, as Elaena finds herself drawn—despite herself—towards the very prince she was meant to bind, and whose inner turmoil mirrors the unrest of the realm around them.
