   Summary

   After the Trial of the Seven, Prince Aerion finds himself at the mercy of Myssandre, a healer woman with annoyingly unwavering morals, when Maekar struggles to find a Maester to care for his wounds. Incapacitated and in pain, Aerion is forced to confront feelings he'd been repressing, challenging things he'd thought long settled within himself, and must now learn to juggle them along with the growing affections he develops for his carer.

   As he finds himself falling deeper and deeper, the dragon prince begins to fear losing her, what with her seemingly indifferent demeanor towards him and his impending exile to Lys, the Brightflame devises plans to ensure that he can keep his healer close.
