At court, he is the fool. She is the crown. Their clandestine love is the most magnificent treason of all. ​Mocked for sport and painted in jest, Laurent is the king's most trusted advisor, a keen mind shrewdly concealed behind the jester's mask. Princess Élodie walks in the day's heavy silks, but sheds the burden of state for the forbidden freedom of plain maid's cloth. This daring escape is made possible by her loyal servant, Sabine, who risks her life by lying in the royal bed. ​When their furtive encounters blaze into a desire neither Laurent nor Élodie can name, the promise of a political union with King Auguste threatens to cleave their secret world in two. Should Auguste uncover the deception, it will be Sabine, not the Princess, who pays the price. ​But this court is no stranger to the blade of deception. Its most dangerous secrets are held not by rulers in their gilded cages, but by the hearts of those who serve in silence. In a palace defined by masks, love is a precarious game where the greatest penalty falls upon those who wear no crown.

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper.

"Qeldlie" word for golden in High Valyrian. According to Septon Eustace, most accurate description for Alyssa Targaryen, only daughter of King Viserys I and Queen Alicent. "The children of King Viserys I and Queen Alicent Hightower are now grown. Life at court, with its intrigues and shadows, has shaped them into very different people. In the Red Keep, growing up is perilous, and the blood of the dragon carries both duty and danger. In a game ruled by wicked and ruthless men, being a princess is an even riskier fate-especially when your greatest threat may be your own kin. Aegon, the eldest of the siblings, Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne, is twenty years old and has grown up without ever knowing his parents' love, always disappointing them with his vices and his distaste for matters of court. Though he is often lost in drink, one thing in him has never faded with time: his love for his younger sister, and the fierce instinct to protect her, the only one who never rejected him or treated him cruelly for who he is. When the young princess finds herself in danger and the King's health begins to decline, an ill-prepared and vice-ridden Aegon must rise to protect all that he holds dear."

"It had been a long time since Aemond had known real fear. So long that he couldn't even recognize the feeling when he came upon the man drowning his betrothed in the bath. That fear was replaced with anger. Rage. He had known rage. He knew it well enough to know what was to come next. Nothing could stop Aemond Targaryen as he tore the man from Aemma. Aemond did not spare the look of surprise on the man's face a second thought. His fist collided with the man's nose first. Then his cheekbone. Then his right eye. His nose. His left eye." ~ Aemma Velaryon is the eldest daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen, the Black Queen. Aemond Targaryen is the youngest son of Alicent Hightower, the queen of the Greens. When they are arranged to be wed, a reluctant but reliant bond is forged. Can their love rise above the flames set alight by their parents?
