Summary
Daenys Velaryon lives only for others, yet within her heart, she harbours a whisper of selfish desire. She has dedicated her life to her brothers, becoming their staunch advocate, their steadfast defender, their eldest sister, entwined with their destinies. What purpose, she wonders, could she have if not in their service? Yet, in the quiet moments, when shadows soften the world, she dreams of a life unfettered, free from the heavy chains of duty and sacrifice. She does not covet the Iron Throne, nor does she wish to spill her blood for its cold, unyielding promise. However, to forsake her responsibilities and thrust them upon her brothers would make them a target of the realm's violence, defying the very essence of her being. For Daenys is nothing if not their protector, the guardian of their fate, even as she longs for a destiny of her own.
Aemond Targaryen is nobody, second in importance, heir to nothing, and yet he simply cannot stop wanting, stop reaching, for the things he cannot and should not have. He wants the girl whom he has grown up beside, he wants the crown his brother is destined for; he wants justice and retribution, but in his greed, it is easy to forget that the price of it can only be paid in blood.

Summary
Lucerys Velaryon was a coward who did not wish to die, but die he did, with all the bravery his young heart could muster.
And with his death, the war of ravens and envoys came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest.Daenys Velaryon no longer knew the difference between sacrifice and self-slaughter, nor where the violence against oneself ended. Velaryons were supposed to be of the sea, but she was a burning ship, a vicinity one had to always flee. If anyone deserved to extinguish themselves in a kamikaze blaze, it was her, the one who would be missed least of all, who was needed least of all when the realm finally knew peace.
Aemond Targaryen still belonged to his wife. Though he had been absent too long, and the graveyard of old bones and lost kin that spanned between them was far too vast, he still held onto the memory of her. He was a hunter whose trap had mangled the wrong creature, but it was the law of the world, for a knife and a wound to seek each other out, because they spoke in a language of damage no one else did, and now he owed her a debt.
In which Daenys Velaryon must come to terms with the fact that the man she loves has committed an unforgivable crime.
