Maekar Targaryen left King's Landing a grieving widow, drowning in the duty of raising six children in the isolation of Summerhall. For seven years, he was a ghost. He remembered his niece, Elaena, as nothing more than a bright, laughing child, a fleeting memory of a life he left behind.
But seven years is a lifetime.
Summoned back to the Red Keep by royal decree for Elaena's nineteenth name day, Maekar returns to find the court unchanged, but the girl he knew entirely gone. In her place stands a woman of fierce warmth, a sun cutting through his eternal winter.
She is his brother's firstborn.
She is forbidden.
And in a court built on whispers and treason, the slow-burning heat between the anvil and the sun might just burn the Seven Kingdoms to the ground.
