   Summary

   Modern PhD student in political science drops into Westeros circa 114 AC, already knowing exactly how the Dance of the Dragons plays out. Armed with encyclopedic canon knowledge, she spends eight years quietly building an estate empire and bonding with the Cannibal before arriving at court as Daemon Targaryen's long-neglected wife. Her goal: use her outsider's foreknowledge to engineer a negotiated peace that sidesteps the war entirely — one careful political relationship at a time. The slow burn is with Daemon, who left after the wedding and comes back to find a stranger has become someone formidable.
