   Summary

   Having secured the Iron Throne for her mother through her marriage to the Lord of the Hightower, Princess Elaenys Velaryon knows that while others would celebrate the fruits of their labors, her labor has just begun. Pregnant and married to the most powerful Lord of the Realm, there is no peace in a man who stands above them all.

   Especially not when she finds herself facing the man she could have had instead. The kind, the gentle, and the honorable Ser Gwayne Hightower. Her sworn shield and the only true companion she has in a court that knows no honor, no peace, nor satisfaction. Torn between her heart, her duty, and her pride: Elaenys must face that the life she thought she would have is not the one she originally thought. And that the man she managed to make hers is going to demand return on his investment. What he asks for may not be a crown: but instead something that is not just hers to give.
