THOSE WORDS WERE THE LEGACY OF HOUSE MARTELL. A legacy Leila now holds in her hands as she travels North to Kings Landing like her ancestor Deria had done a century before her. But she had no dragon skulls to barter with, no letter to threaten King Viserys into compliance. She had only her wits, her words, and her luck.
Once she would have believed those would have gotten her out of any situation, but the independence of Dorne was more important than some petty squabble with a lordling or sibling. The very future of her Kingdom lay in her hands as their heir and Princess, the eldest daughter of Qoren Martell and the one who must continue repairing the damage done from the Fourth Dornish War perpetuated by her Great-Grandfather. It wasn't her own legacy she must shoulder, but Nymeria of Ny Sar's as well.
And so she sails North.
Toward Aegon's High Hill and the Red Keep itself, where sleeping dragons lie amidst red stone waiting for a chance to burn her to ash.
But LEILA MARTELL is no mere lady of Westeros.
She will not simper and plead and beg for her home. She will do what Queens do and take what belongs to her through any means necessary.
For she is a viper in a den of dragons, and she can no longer wait sitting in the grass to strike.
