In the wake of Balerion the Black Dread's death, a dragon egg was sealed in darkness - soaked in the dying beast's blood and whispered of only in myth. Years later, as war brews in the heart of Westeros, a second son is born to King Viserys I Targaryen beneath a storm that shakes the very stones of the Red Keep. His name: Maelor.
Raised in the shadows of his elder sister, Princess Rhaenyra, and the tensions tearing their House apart, Maelor is forged by fire, steel, and silence. Gifted a warhammer by his uncle Daemon, entrusted with a Valyrian blade by his ailing father, and burdened with royal duties beyond his years, he becomes the quiet flame in a court drowning in ambition.
But everything changes when a monstrous dragon long thought untamable - the infamous Sky Demon - reveals itself and chooses Maelor as its rider. From that moment, his fate is no longer just political - it is legendary.
Sent North on a mission of diplomacy, Maelor encounters Lady Elira Stark, daughter of Winterfell and as fierce as the frostwinds she rides. What begins as icy defiance burns into a bond that defies the laws of court and blood alike. In a realm fractured by betrayal, their love becomes both weapon and weakness - a spark that could unite fire and ice, or consume them both.
As the Dance of the Dragons ignites, Maelor must decide: protect the sister he swore to serve, the kingdom he was raised to shield... or the love he was never meant to have.
