   Summary

   Weekly updates 💕

   What if Ser Gwayne Hightower had become Rhaenyra Targaryen's sworn shield instead of Criston Cole?

   From the moment they meet, Princess Rhaenyra finds Ser Gwayne unbearably honourable, frustratingly dutiful, and entirely too difficult to provoke. Yet as the years pass, friendship grows where neither expected it.

   As Daemon Targaryen tempts her with freedom, passion, and rebellion, Gwayne offers something far rarer..
