    Summary

    Prince Maekar Targaryen was twelve years old when he presented as an omega, and twelve years old when the court decided his body was worth more than his will.
    A royal omega meant alliance. Children. Useful dragonblood.
    So King Daeron gave him to a widowed Lannister lord with no heirs.
    Baelor, his prince, tried to save him. He bargained with gold, promises, blood, and pieces of the king he had not yet become.
    It was not enough.
    On the eve of his wedding, Maekar died.
    Or so everyone believed.
    Years later, a wandering knight rides toward Ashford with a boy too tall for his wits and a sharp-tongued, silver-haired bastard named Aisel Rivers, who smokes bitter herbs, bites harder than he smiles, and knows too much about princes, poisons, and how to become his own self.
    So, a dead prince, a false dragon, a drunken prophet, and a knight with more heart than caution walk into Ashford.
    And that is almost the beginning of a joke.
