Summary
"The North does not give its treasures easily. To the Starks, she is Veyra: fierce, freckled, and full of life. To the Iron Throne, she is merely a shadow behind a wall of lace."
To seal a desperate alliance, a pact was struck: Veyra Stark would wed Prince Aemond Targaryen. But the North is a land of old gods and cold pride, and they do not surrender their daughter without a price. By ancient tradition, the Prince is denied his bride's face; until the day of their union, her beauty is a secret kept by the North, hidden from the dragon's sight behind a heavy veil.
Aemond Targaryen, a prince who sacrificed an eye for power, loathed being blind to anything. He resents the mystery, the politics, and the sot Stark girl he is forced to claim.
From their childhood betrothal in the frozen courtyards of Winterfell to the lethal gardens of the Red Keep, their path is a slow-burning friction of ice and fire. Bound by debt of honor and forced into a proximity that neither desired, they find that wile the dragon has fire, the wolf has teeth."A debt of honor is a dangerous thing when paid in flesh."
