The union of House Targaryen's golden prince and House Lannister's only daughter promises glory to the realm. For their gold and loyalty, the lions are welcomed to the foot of the Iron Throne - where warmth and wildfire are one and the same. What becomes of a naïve lion who wanders into a realm of dragons - one haunted by a quiet, twisting madness born of a self he cannot name, the other ablaze with outward fury for believing he has named it? The lion walks between flames, where innocence falters and even the gentlest heart tastes the dragons' unseen scorch.

"What is duty compared to a woman's love? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy." Prince Valarr Targaryen had always believed duty came before all else. He would marry without love, wage war, and suffer in silence if it meant serving the realm. That was what it meant to be a prince. Love was a weakness he believed himself above. Until Lilyanna Tyrell.

Yet against all reason, Valarr finds himself willing to risk his honor, his future, and the very duty he once held sacred for her love. Valarr Targaryen x fem oc
