**The Silver Queen**
The Dance of the Dragons is remembered as a war fought over a throne.
But this is the story of the family caught beneath the crown.
When King Viserys I Targaryen dies, the Seven Kingdoms are torn between two claimants: his named heir, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, and his eldest son, King Aegon II. As dragons gather and old loyalties fracture, the realm prepares for a war that will forever change House Targaryen.
Yet in King's Landing, history unfolds differently.
Queen Rhaella Targaryen-Helaena's twin sister and wife to Aegon II-is no ordinary queen. Gifted with prophetic dragon dreams and bound to her twin by a mysterious connection, Rhaella sees glimpses of a future drenched in fire and blood. Determined to save the people she loves, she struggles to prevent a war that fate seems determined to bring.
Alongside Aegon, their children, and the rest of the Green family-including Helaena, Daeron, and Aemond-Rhaella fights not only for a crown, but for her family, her home, and the hope that love can survive even the darkest of times.
As dragons soar, alliances crumble, and prophecy collides with ambition, one question remains:
Can the future be changed, or are some dreams destined to come true?
*The Silver Queen* is an alternate retelling of the Dance of the Dragons, exploring loyalty, family, prophecy, and the devastating cost of civil war through the eyes of a queen history never knew.
