   Summary

   Rhaenyra Targaryen stops waiting. Crowned heir by her father, she builds the court she needs, the realm she deserves, and the future they never saw coming.

   With her handpicked circle of highborn women, she rewrites the rules of power—founding offices, forging alliances, and reshaping Westeros one reform at a time. But loyalty has a cost, and fire always burns.

   This is not a girl’s story. This is a queen’s.
