Summary
In 98AC, as the heat of summer settles over Westeros, Princess Gael Targaryen is married to Rickon Stark, heir of Winterfell. A year later, a daughter is born.
Raised in the rugged North, far from the stifling decorum of the court, Lysanna Stark's life is one of little convention. But when a visit to the south sees her claim a dragon, no longer may she live only as a wolf.
In 116AC, as the chill of autumn sets in, Lysanna is again called south, now to accompany her friend and kin Princess Rhaenyra as her wedding approaches. Lysanna would very much like for that to be the end of her duties, but she too must find a husband, and what better place than bustling Kings Landing? Even then, it ought to be simple. Find a tolerable man, marry him, and spend her life dodging her marital duties.
The return of Prince Daemon Targaryen, victorious from war, makes it anything but. Lysanna doesn't need his scandal, his title, or his lust. But she'd weather just about anything, if it gave her freedom.
She never intended to like him. And he never meant to love her.
