    Summary

    You’re not meant to rule.

    No, you’re meant to be a cautionary tale—to be the example, like your uncle before you. You’re the uncontrolled brightness of a pyre left to burn itself out. You’re contained only by altering everything around you—clearing the brush, stacking the rocks, arranging the sticks, and keeping far away from the inciting spark. The consuming blaze.

    You’re overlooked, overseen, and underestimated—the Realm’s Delight, the Rogue Princess, the only thing worse than a second son. A firstborn daughter.

    Summary

    “It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”

    It was loving in the beginning.

    Summary

    -

    "We all have our special talents," Owen explains. "Jamie fixes things and tends to the plants, I'm a world-class chef myself, and Hannah's like our glue, she holds us together, makes sure we don't neglect laundry four weeks in a row or—"

    "Leave mold growing in the sink too long," Jamie adds in.

    Owen drops his head, hand clutching his heart. "That was only once, but yes, we'd all fall into oblivion without Hannah. My bigger point, and what I'm asking, though, is what talent might you have to offer?"

    Outside of wrangling fourth graders, the only thing Dani's ever managed to accomplish is making coffee with just a pan, tap water, and near expired k-cups after her Keurig broke, so. "I'm really great at making coffee," she says, hopeful.

    "You had me at I'm really great," Owen smiles, "the coffee is a bonus. I'll show you to your room."
