    Summary

    The dragons are long dead, but their absence still aches in the blood of House Targaryen.

    Princess Aelyra has always felt it, the hollow where fire should live, the tremor beneath her skin that no feast or finery can soothe. Gentle, watchful, and too tender for the sharp edges of court, she moves through the Red Keep like a ghost of a fiercer age, clinging to her father's quiet love and her brother's devotions.

    But at the tourney at Ashford Meadow, amid snapping banners and the thunder of hooves, Aelyra encounters something she has never known: a kindness that does not burn.
