♕ sapphires in the water. serpent and beast. ♕
Eldest daughter of the rogue prince and the beloved Lady Laena Velaryon, Valaena Targaryen becomes the ward of Driftmark at a young age; far from the Pentoshi residence of her mother, father, and twin sisters - growing up to be more Velaryon than Targaryen.
Educated in the Red Keep with her royal family, Valaena is caught between the factions of the Princess and the Queen, the enmity of the Blacks and Greens. Friends with her cousins from both sides, if it were not for Valaena's unwavering devotion to her dear sisters, there could be no telling which heir the clever girl might align with.
Albeit the oldest of her sisters, Valaena is the last unpromised Targaryen, content to be the centre of a discourse between her father, lord grandsire, and the Prince of Pentos, all the quarrels of powerful men that have kept her hand unclaimed for a time.
However, in hopes of strengthening their House of the Dragon, she is offered by the King as a betrothed to her cousin, his second son, Prince Aemond Targaryen.
But where a dragon is concerned, there will be fire, and there will be blood.
No Targaryen can escape the coming dragon war, not even Valaena and her darling Seaserpent.
