Some songs are not sung to celebrate heroes... but to mourn them. The realm stands on the edge of war. Dragons fill the skies, ancient houses sharpen their blades, and every oath carries the weight of blood. Born as the third child of Queen Alicent Hightower and King Viserys I Targaryen, Princess Aeryssa Targaryen was raised between two worlds - the warmth of her mother's devotion and the weight of her father's crown. Known to those closest to her as Issa, she is a princess of Old Valyria's blood, yet her heart is far more fragile than the legacy she carries. As the realm divides and whispers of war spread through the Seven Kingdoms, Aeryssa finds herself caught between duty and desire. Bound by her family's loyalty to the Greens and the ambitions of Oldtown, she must choose between the path laid before her by blood and tradition - or the dangerous road her own heart demands. But in a world where alliances are forged through marriage, loyalty is bought with promises, and love can be considered treason, every choice comes with a price. As the Dance of the Dragons draws closer, Aeryssa discovers that the greatest battles are not always fought with swords or dragons. Sometimes, they are fought within the heart. In a realm where blood decides destiny and fire consumes everything it touches, one question remains.... Can love survive a war written in blood? Or will Aeryssa Targaryen become nothing more than another forgotten ballad?

Alyrie has never been anyone of consequence. A shopkeeper's daughter in Oldtown, raised on borrowed books and half-true stories, she has spent her whole life reading about dragons rather than ever expecting to stand before one. But when the call goes out from Dragonstone - bastards of dragon's blood invited to claim what the Targaryens no longer can - she abandons the only life she's ever known and walks into legend on foot, disguised, alone, and utterly unqualified by any measure but her own stubbornness. What she finds in the limestone cliffs at the edge of the Reach isn't the dragon everyone else is chasing. It's the one nobody has ever managed to find at all. Captured behind enemy lines, she stumbles upon a knight whose quiet honour and unshakable decency make her question everything she thought she knew about the men on the other side of this war. Between the oath she's sworn and the thing her heart won't let go of, Alyrie will have to choose.

Aratessa "Tessa" Tyrell has spent her entire life preparing for a future chosen for her, advising her young brother as he grows into Lord of Highgarden and learning the art of becoming the perfect noblewoman her mother expects her to be. But when civil war descends upon Westeros, she meets Prince Daeron Targaryen: a gentle soul hidden beneath the weight of a crown, a sword, and a dragon's wings. When Daeron is lost on the battlefield, Tessa makes an impossible attempt to save him. . . and accidentally tears open the boundaries of time itself. Separated across the world nearly two centuries in the future, Daeron and Tessa must navigate a Westeros neither of them recognizes, uncover forgotten histories, and find their way back to each other. Because some dragons are lost to history. And some stories refuse to end.

Daerys was born during a violent thunderstorm on Dragonstone. Legend says lightning struck her dragon egg, leaving black veins across its shell. When it hatched, the dragon's fire burned silver instead of the usual orange. Many nobles believed Daerys was cursed because of the black streaks in her hair. Others believed she was blessed by Old Valyria itself. Instead of fighting for the Iron Throne, Daerys dreamed of rebuilding the lost knowledge of Valyria and uniting dragonlords before another civil war could destroy her family.

༒︎ 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 Vaerissa Velaryon was born a surprise to her mother. They say that Rhaenyra Targaryen had too much spirit in her for it to be only inherited by one and so the deities had halved the soul and given her twins. Born second to the heir, sister to another, blood in her mouth from biting her tongue. Born a curse to a curse, a poisonous poppy to a sinning rose, a girl to a woman and her mother who didn't see her as whole. Had these gods been kinder they would have written her a better fate. Had they been crueler they would have delivered her to the stranger. Yet a Targaryen has never made it to history without a tragedy on their soul and cruelty on their name. So, it be she wasn't meant to be erased in the dust of war.......... May the stranger bless thy evil soul Vaerissa Velaryon. [𝑶𝒄 𝒙 𝑮𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒏𝒆 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓] [𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅!

Before the war, before Aegon took the throne, before her bestfriend married her father, Rhealla Targaryen was simply girl in love with her bestfriends older brother. They were each other's first love-until war, pride, and family tore them apart. Fifteen years later, Gwayne Hightower returns to King's Landing to find the Targaryen princess he left behind, living as a glorified prisoner of the Greens. Forced together while the realm burns, they discover that hatred is far easier than forgiving the one person they never truly stopped loving.
