❝ but this world is a lie
this world deserves to die
because this is your world.
we've lived by your rules long enough
we can save this world
we can burn it to the ground
and from the ashes build a new world
a world where dreams come true
a world where you can be free
our world. ❞It was all so thoughtless, so filled with innocence— ignorance—Who knew that such a childish plan would lead to the deaths of millions. That Robert's love ran so deep, so thick in his blood he was blinded from reality. Who knew that it wasn't the Targaryens, Starks, Lannisters, nor Baratheons that started this fateful war but five maidens.
Clara Tyrell's only desire was to be free of her mother, Lady Olenna, who had searched far and wide for a husband who wouldn't be intimidated of her tempestuous daughter. Clara wanted a life chosen for herself by her own will and happiness until she is left at a perilous crossroads.
Lyanna Stark wanted nothing less than to wed Lord Robert Baratheon of Storm's End, yet this is what her father, Lord Rodrick had arranged. She wanted wind in her hair and cold in her veins. Lyanna was a wolf in the North and there she wanted to stay until a prophecy is brought unto her.
Catelyn Tully only dreamed of love, but stood firm on her duty to her betrothed Brandon Stark. Yet the North is not what she intended it to be and neither is her soon-to-be husband. More and more Catelyn's faith in her family's word begin to waver until war is waged.
Cersei Lannister would kill to be queen. It was not just her supposed husband the Dornish stole from her, but her right, her crown, and her future and she will do anything to get them all back. Even if that takes a head or three. Cersei's desire will ravage and reap until the dust settles and nothing is the same.
Elia Martell was in a marriage of mutual understanding. Her husband, Rhaegar, was a kind soul, but Elia yearned for a love that would scorch the earth barren and she finds just that in her King's Guard. A battle wages between her heart and her duty until the lives of those she loves is at stake.
These Five maidens wanted nothing more than to be free from the social construct that Westeros had bound them to. So, they took their lives into their own hands, only to be cursed for eternity.
