The reign of King Viserys Targaryen brought years of prosperity to the Seven Kingdoms. Dragons still nested upon Dragonstone, and the power of House Targaryen remained unchallenged. Yet the Red Keep had never been a place of simple peace. Courts thrive on watchful eyes and careful alliances, and every prince, princess, and lord understood that the future of the realm would one day rest on the question of succession.
Within those same halls moves Nythera Targaryen, the king's eldest daughter, a princess who has grown up observing the quiet games of power played around the Iron Throne.
Few men move through the court with less regard for its rules than Prince Daemon Targaryen, the king's brother, whose reputation precedes him wherever he goes. Their paths cross often enough to draw notice.
In a house where blood runs close and traditions are seldom followed as the rest of the realm might wish, such familiarity rarely remains without consequence. And the Red Keep, as many have learned before them, is not a place where dangerous things stay hidden forever.
