    Summary

    After the Dance of the Dragons, the once highly regarded House Velaryon saw their downfall. Financially drained from a war of their kin, they took their leave to Driftmark and did not look back. Generations later, no longer cousins to the Targaryens, their anger has festered. The Lord of Driftmark, desperate to reignite the bond between the two Valyrian houses, sends his only daughter, Valaena Velaryon, to the metaphorical Dragon's den. Uninterested in being her father's pawn, she faces it with a stiff lip as he tries to wed her to any of the unmarried Targaryen princes.

    Unbeknownst to her, one of them has been dreaming of her his whole life.

    Summary

    Aerion 'Brightflame' was everything his name suggested — fiery, demanding, and unyielding in his pursuits. He believed he was a dragon in human form, Valyria made flesh, and he lived like it.

    Gaelen was born in the early hours of the morning, the first daughter to Prince Maekar and Dyanna Dayne. Meek, quiet, and yet a dragon in her own, her silver hair and violet eyes the personification of the Old Valyria that Aerion wanted to bring back to its former glory so desperately.

    She was given to him without thought. Her Father wanted to keep her close, and what better way than to betroth her to the brother whose fire only she could calm?

    But was she truly taming the dragon or was he just letting himself be tamed?

    Summary

    Maekar had six children and that should have been enough. But with the Bloodraven whispering in his ears, speaking of destiny and the good of House Targaryen: the King demanded it was time for his eldest and youngest to remarry, as neither of his other sons would ever have children of their own.

    After six moon turns of dragging his children across half the continent: it is not he that chooses his wife. It's his children.

    Summary

    Princess Daenora Targaryen was born into luxury and raised within the Red Keep, beloved for her kindness and grace. At fourteen, her carefree childhood gave way to duty: tutors taught her politics, diplomacy, and the poise expected of a Targaryen princess. Betrothed to Prince Aerion “Brightflame” Targaryen, feared for his cruelty and obsession with dragons, Daenora faces his harshness with quiet strength. Though her heart aches under his indifference, she holds fast to humility and compassion, nurturing a fragile hope that beneath his fire, there might one day be love.

    Summary

    “Do you know,” Lyonel said at last, studying her, “you stand as if the gods might take notes? Straight spine. Careful hands. As if the Seven will peer down and say yes, that one is behaving correctly.”

    The princess did not answer. Lord Baratheon noticed quite early that his lady wife was not much of a conversationalist. Not much of a dancer nor a drinker, either. Her eyes only flicked to him – cool and watchful.

    It made Lyonel smirk. “Maekar’s work”, he added lightly. Hammer it in early and it never cracks. Gods forbid she bends. Bending is how things break.

    She lifted her chin a fraction. Not defiance. Barely curiosity.

    He drank again, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before stepping closer. “You don’t look when I expect it. You don’t laugh when I expect it. You don’t even speak when I expect it,” he said, almost accusing. “That is dangerous. Makes a man try harder.”
