She was born of a marriage built on resentment-
and became the one thing neither side expected.
Rhaella Ysaera Targaryen is twelve years old when the world first teaches her the cost of loving a dragon.
The only legitimate child of Prince Daemon Targaryen and Lady Rhea Royce, she is raised far from King's Landing, among the cold stone halls of Runestone, where honor is earned and weakness is not forgiven. With brown hair marking her as a daughter of the First Men and dragonfire singing in her blood, Rhaella has never truly belonged to either house.
To her, Daemon is not the rogue prince whispered about in courts-he is her father. Her hero.
Until she learns the truth.
As the lies of the past surface and her mother's death leaves an unfillable void, Rhaella is forced to confront the man behind the legend. Love turns to resentment. Loyalty becomes restraint. And the bond between father and daughter fractures beneath the weight of ambition, cruelty, and regret.
Yet when war looms and Daemon Targaryen finally stands on the brink of losing everything, it is Rhaella-dragonrider of the golden Aestra-who must decide whether blood is a chain... or a choice.
Caught between the Vale and the Iron Throne, mercy and vengeance, fire and stone, Rhaella Ysaera must carve her own legacy in a world that would rather use her than understand her.
Because sometimes the most dangerous dragon
is the one who learns when not to burn.
