"The love was there. It didn't change anything. It didn't save anyone. There were just too many forces against it. But it still matters that the love was there."
Artemisia Arryn, raised between a rigid father of the Vale and a free-spirited Braavosi mother, grows into a woman who values freedom above all else. When she finds herself the subject of a match with Prince Baelor Targaryen, she flees without explanation, seeing only a gilded cage in the life he offers.
Nearly two decades later, she returns to court at her cousin's request, believing herself long forgotten. Instead, she finds Baelor again, who, still carrying the wound of her disappearance, demands answers she has long avoided.
