He is fire; she fears the flame. Naerys Velaryon, firstborn of Rhaenyra Targaryen, bears the blood of the dragon yet carries a curse that sets her apart: a terror of fire. When her mother's claim hung by a thread, she was bound in childhood to her uncle, Aemond Targaryen - a union forged not of love, but as the price exacted for the loss of his eye. Ten years later, Naerys returns to King's Landing to fulfill her duty. Yet her betrothed is no longer the boy she once knew. Aemond is vengeance made flesh, as sharp and unforgiving as the blades he wields. In a court ruled by treachery, where oaths shatter as swiftly as they are sworn, they must set aside their grievances... if only to seize what they both covet: the Iron Throne. And in the game they are forced to play, hatred may prove the only thing more perilous than desire.

When the snows fall and the white winds blow; the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. Aris Stark, eldest daughter of Eddard and Catelyn Stark is thrown out into the world. Forced to survive a long way from home in a foreign land. Forced to play the Game of Thrones. A free wolf and a bastard stag. Both stowaways and not like the other. Minds sharp as her arrows and and wills strong as his hammer. He has nothing and she loses everything. Her family and her home, but leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe, for Winter Is Our Fury... and Winter is Here.

In which Princess Aemma Velaryon finds herself betrothed to Prince Aemond Targaryen in a futile attempt to quell the rising tensions between their divided household and flees to the North, when her prophetic dreams show her no other way out. In which Cregan Stark is bound to an oath his father before him swore to Rhaenyra Targaryen and discovers himself dragged into a war to end all wars, but finds new reasons for honoring his promises in a runaway princess.

~I think of how the mystics read by the light of their own bodies. What a world of darkness that must have been to read by the flaming hearts that turn into heaps of ash on the altar, how everything, in the end, is made equal by the wind.~ Daenys Velaryon lives only for others, yet within her heart, she harbours a whisper of selfish desire. She has dedicated her life to her brothers, becoming their staunch advocate, their steadfast defender, their eldest sister, entwined with their destinies. What purpose, she wonders, could she have if not in their service? Yet, in the quiet moments, when shadows soften the world, she dreams of a life unfettered, free from the heavy chains of duty and sacrifice. She does not covet the Iron Throne, nor does she wish to spill her blood for its cold, unyielding promise. However, to forsake her responsibilities and thrust them upon her brothers would make them a target of the realm's violence, defying the very essence of her being. For Daenys is nothing if not their protector, the guardian of their fate, even as she longs for a destiny of her own. **Prequel to An Eye for an Eye **Book 1/2 Rankings - #1 in houseofthedragon (2/7/2024) - #1 in aemondtargaryen (19/6/2024) - #1 in aemond (29/6/2024)

SEQUEL - READ PART I FIRST!!!! "Thus was Prince Daemon banished from his brother the King's city, and with him his niece and newborn heirs. Exile had long favoured the rogue, and this latest decree brought a period of quiet to the isle of Dragonstone, the years giving rise to further progeny to strengthen his House's line. Together with the Princess Rhaenyra, Daemon and his wife presided over the Targaryen stronghold for several years before circumstances would take them once more to King's Landing." - 'Fire & Blood, Being a History of the Targaryen Kings of Westeros' by Archmaester Gyldayn * * * * * * * * The continued story of Prince Daemon Targaryen and his brother's second-born daughter, as told through the many terms of endearment he gives her.

"The marriage between the second daughter of King Viserys and his own brother, Prince Daemon, raised eyebrows upon its first announcement. Many assumed the match would echo the Rogue Prince's unfortunate first union with the late Lady Rhea, despite his wish for a Valyrian bride being, finally, fulfilled. It surprised all to see the intensity of Daemon's devotion to his second wife, a regard that would persist through a long and happy union between uncle and niece." - 'Fire & Blood, Being a History of the Targaryen Kings of Westeros' by Archmaester Gyldayn * * * * * * * * The story of Prince Daemon Targaryen and his brother's second-born daughter, as told through the many terms of endearment he gives her.
