    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, Maegelle Targaryen was not particularly pious.

    Once, she had been — or at least, a version of her had. That Maegelle prayed faithfully until the day she died, and no prayer saved her.

    She wakes again as a girl of ten, her mind burdened with knowledge of a future steeped in fire, grief, and quiet tragedies history would later dismiss as inevitable. Armed with memory rather than prophecy, Maegelle is trapped in a court where knowledge without power is its own kind of danger.

    Promised to the Faith before she was old enough to choose, she had been removed from the board without question — and with her, any chance to intervene when her family needed her most. Determined not to let history repeat itself, Maegelle sets out to delay, resist, and ultimately challenge the path laid out for her.

    She may not be able to stop every tragedy to come, but she can refuse to vanish quietly this time.
