𝒮ummerhall was meant to be a quiet place.
Far from the intrigues of King's Landing and the watchful eyes of the court, the Targaryen palace stood among green hills and warm winds, a refuge for princes and princesses who wished, if only for a time, to forget the weight of crowns.
It was there that Sarella Dayne, daughter of the ancient House Dayne of Starfall, came to serve as lady-in-waiting to Princess Vaella Targaryen. Raised between the sunlit shores of Dorne and the quiet halls of Summerhall, Sarella was no stranger to the royal household. She had known its gardens, its stables, and its winding corridors since childhood.
She had also known Prince Valarr Targaryen.
But boys become men, and time has a way of changing what once seemed simple. When the heir to the Iron Throne returns to Summerhall after years spent among the lords and politics of King's Landing, he finds that the girl who once ran laughing through the orchards has become something far more dangerous.
A woman he cannot forget.
In the quiet halls of Summerhall, their friendship deepens into something neither of them dares name. Yet the realm has little patience for love where duty should stand.
