"For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo"
~
In a realm where loyalty is law and love is treason, two souls find each other in the shadow of fate.
Maegelle Velaryon, daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen and twin to the future king, has always known her fate would be forged in duty. Promised to Prince Jaqen Qoheros of Volantis to secure ships and power, she is draped in silks and false smiles-an offering of war dressed as a bride.
But, her heart has been stolen for longer than her family knows. Prince Aemond Targaryen, green-blooded, one-eyed, cursed kinslayer, has taken her innocence and left behind something far more dangerous: love.
Now bound by secrets and sins, Maegelle and Aemond walk a knife's edge between salvation and destruction. They are heirs of an ancient house split by rivalries and jealousy-sworn enemies, forged in the same flame-and every touch is a defiance, every glance a betrayal.
As tensions rise and war take wing, their love becomes a powder keg threatening to ignite the Dance of the Dragons before a single sword is drawn.
Their families watch.
Waiting.
Plotting.
But none see the truth that smolders between green silk and black leather.
They were never meant to want each other. Never meant to love each other.
They were meant to kill each other.
It was their fate. Written by the Stranger in the stars above.
Love is no gentle thing in the House of Fire and Blood.
It is a flame that burns hot-and leaves no survivors.
