Summary
After years of isolation and grief, Aegon III Targaryen, King of the Seven Kingdoms, is forced to confront his royal duties when his council demands he take a wife to secure the future of the realm. Haunted by the brutal deaths of his mother, Rhaenyra Targaryen, and his wife, Jaehaera, Aegon struggles with the weight of his crown and the agony of his past.
The council proposes a marriage to Serena Tyrell, the young daughter of the family that betrayed his mother during the Dance of Dragons. Still reeling from the trauma of his past and the weight of political necessity, Aegon is torn between his hatred for the Tyrells and his duty to the kingdom. He is forced into a marriage with a girl who has known nothing but innocence, a sharp contrast to the pain and loss that has defined Aegon’s life.
As he navigates the complexities of his grief, his obligations, and his new, unexpected relationship with Serena, Aegon struggles to reconcile his desire for solace with the cruel demands of the throne. Caught in a web of duty, political power, and personal anguish, Aegon must face the harsh reality that his future is not his own to choose.
This is a story of love, loss, and the devastating burden of being a king.
