   Summary

   When Daeron is born in place of Baelon the Brave, the Targaryen succession hardens around sons, not daughters.

   The question of a ruling queen never arises.

   Rhaenyra grows not as heir, but as princess — brilliant, contained, and underestimated in a court that believes her safely removed from power.

   But blood remembers.

   And when she encounters a prince whose presence bends the air around him, the quiet balance of the realm begins to shift.

   Because even in a world where she was never meant to rule, Rhaenyra Targaryen was never meant to be small.
