    Summary

    Maeve was born into House Blackwood. The only daughter among four sons. She was the favorite cousin of Brynden Rivers. Her favor secured her a rather advantageous marriage to Lyonel Baratheon, situating her to eventually become the Lady of Storm's End. She was smart, favored by one of the most powerful men in the realm and if she had been born a man - she would have been a force to be reckoned with. She was, however, not born a man and now plays a very different game.

    This is her story.

    Summary

    The only daughter of Baelor Targaryen, Saera has always followed her head over her heart, and the commands of her family over her own whims. She is the one her wayward family comes to for reassurance: her twin brother Valarr, her cousin and husband Daeron, even her uncle Maekar when his own children go astray. Crushed by the weight of her responsibilities, Saera finds her freedoms where she can.

    Yet as tragedy closes in around her, Saera begins to spiral into self-destructive tendencies as her family tumbles into ruin. Struggling to take control of her own future and the sense of doom hanging over House Targaryen like a shadow, Saera must choose between madness and greatness.

    Summary

    “Do you know,” Lyonel said at last, studying her, “you stand as if the gods might take notes? Straight spine. Careful hands. As though 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.”

    Summary

    Kalea Targaryen, beloved daughter of Baelor Breakspear, has spent her life as the most valuable marriage prize in the realm. Every lord seeks her hand. Constant marriage proposals at the royal doors, all for the heir’s only daughter.

    Sent on a royal progress by King Daeron the Good to choose her own match, she goes to every part of the realm, determined to become the dutiful princess her family needs. To secure the strongest alliance, she is tasked to do this royal tour to choose her future husband. To give the king’s favorite grandchild a chance to pick her heart’s desire.

    Her chosen escort? Prince Maekar Targaryen: warrior, widower, and the one man she should never love.

    But distance from court was meant to quiet her heart, right? It was never meant to leave her alone with Prince Maekar.

    As they travel throughout the realm, they begin to fall into a life that feels dangerously like marriage, and getting too comfortable with the life they have now. And with powerful houses preparing their proposals, Kalea faces an impossible truth:

    How can Baelor’s daughter give her hand to a mere stranger… when her heart already belongs to another?

    Summary

    Since before she could remember, Elaerea Targaryen knew her future. She would wed her cousin, have his sons, and rule by his side as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

    -X-

    The Targaryens have been ruling the Seven Kingdoms for two hundred years. King Daeron the Good has prevailed over the Blackfyres, and the realm enjoys times of peace and plenty once again.

    The family, too, has enjoyed peace and plenty. Too much, in King Daeron's view. Too many dragons are just as dangerous as too few, as he is wont to say. He has betrothed Prince Valarr Targaryen, heir of his heir, to his cousin Princess Elaerea Targaryen, daughter of his third son. They just have to deal with the fallout.
