Visenya Targaryen knew many things to be true. She was Harwin Strong's daughter. She was a Targaryen Princess regardless. And she was not going to marry for love. With a war looming, Rhaenyra Targaryen must do everything in her power to strengthen her line and her claim. She must have the support of as many prominent houses as possible, including the North. And everyone knows that with House Stark the North will follow. And Lord Cregan Stark only wants one thing. Rhaenyra's daughter.

Rhaenyra Targaryen has just married Laenor Velaryon, and she must now focus on producing an heir to the Iron Throne. After swearing an oath as the princess's sworn shield, Ser Harwin Strong has pledged to do anything for her. What starts as an arrangement to protect her inheritance transforms into something more. [Deviates from canon slightly, and Harwin/Rhaenyra is endgame.] [Cover art: @mezzocoralloarte on Instagram]
