"In the shadow of dragons, she shall rise,
The realm's sun, in silence wise.
Drawn to the prince where darkness dwells,
Her heart will bind what war compels.
Through fire and blood, where kin divide,
She alone will bridge the tide.
When light and dark, in her, entwine,
The realm shall heal, and dragons align."In the opulent yet perilous world of House Targaryen, young Alysanne Velaryon stands as a quiet observer amidst the growing tensions that threaten to tear her family apart. Bound by blood to the most powerful house in Westeros, Alysanne's gentle nature and profound connection with her father's dragon, Seasmoke, make her a unique figure in a court where ambition and betrayal rule. But beneath her silence lies a fierce heart, one that will be tested by the cruelty of her nephew Aegon, who sees her as weak and unworthy. As Alysanne navigates the treacherous waters of royal life, she finds an unexpected ally in her cousin Aemond, whose fascination with history mirrors her own. Together, they bond over the tales of their ancestors, and a deep, forbidden affection begins to blossom between them.
However, as the family fractures and loyalties shift, Alysanne's world grows darker. The whispers of war grow louder, and she is caught between her loyalty to her family and the growing tensions between her brothers and the rest of the Targaryens. The Red Keep, once a home, becomes a place of danger and deceit, and Dragonstone, a supposed refuge, hides its own perils.
As Alysanne's relationship with Aemond deepens, the looming storm threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Her growing love for him is overshadowed by the brewing conflict that will culminate in a devastating incident involving her brothers—a moment that will shatter her world and force her to confront the harsh realities of power, love, and survival in a realm where dragons are not the only creatures to be feared.
