   Summary

   The war is over. Her father is dead, her queen is dead, and the crown that killed them both now calls her ward as if the word means anything but prisoner.

   Raised more Royce than dragon, Daena Targaryen was half-forgotten by a father she barely knew, and loyal to a cause she never believed in. When the Dance ends in Green victory, she's summoned from the Vale to King's Landing. Watched over by Ser Gwayne Hightower, a knight with little faith in the court he serves, Daena must learn to survive a gilded cage.
