There was once a time where peace could be achieved with silence. When a woman's worth was measured by her obedience to duty alone. But silence breaks. And when it does, desire speaks louder than duty ever could.

Princess Haera Targaryen, the firstborn daughter of Prince Daemon Targaryen and his 'Bronze Bitch' Rhea Royce, is quietly removed from the Red Keep. Under the guise of keeping young Prince Daeron company, she is fostered in Oldtown as a hostage meant to keep her father's dragons at bay. Her true purpose is soon revealed: a forced marriage to Lord Ormund Hightower to secure his line with Targaryen "spares." However, the daughter of the Rogue Prince finds herself unsuited for Ormund's strict, lavender scented tyranny. Instead of submitting to her arranged fate, she finds herself drawn to the man who was only supposed to be her escort. Ser Gwayne of House Hightower is arrogant, draped in Myrish silk and loves a good tourney but beneath his vanity, he is the knight in shining armor Haera desperately dreamed of in her youth. Over the next six years, the political crisis between the Blacks and the Greens pushes Westeros to the brink of war. The board is upended when Prince Daemon Targaryen finally turns his gaze toward the Reach. Learning his firstborn has been locked away and claimed by the Head of House Hightower, the Rogue Prince's dormant wrath is ignited. All rights reserved to George R. R.

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.

Elaine Targaryen, the youngest daughter of Alicent and Viseris, is one of the most innocent women. What could possibly happen if Alicent orders her brother ser Gwayne Hightower to guard her?

"Why did you say yes when you loathe me"? "Loathe you!? No, I yearn for you!!" Elaena Targaryen was born in 96 AC and is the youngest and only daughter of Prince Baelon Targaryen and Princess Alyssa Targaryen. She is the sister of King Viserys Targaryen and Prince Daemon Targaryen. Being the youngest and almost the same age as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Elaena was cherished by her brother, King Viserys, who treated her like a daughter after their mother, Alyssa, died shortly after giving birth to her. Ser Gwayne Hightower, son of the King's Hand and brother of Queen Alicent Hightower, is an honourable knight. Dedicated to his responsibilities, he spent his childhood in Oldtown before moving to King's Landing when his father was appointed Hand of the King. Due to political alliances and to spread their power in Oldtown, Otto and Viserys decided to betroth Elaena and Gwayne against their will.

She was a dragon trapped in a tower, considered the beauty of the tall tower.

Daenys Targaryen was sent to ward in Oldtown, before she could utter her mother's name, let alone know the cruel touch of love. Two years she spent alone, surrounded with nursemaids and septa's, until her brother-Daeron-followed. Those two were the soul light of the Hightower. Screaming and babbling to each other until they'd plopped against one another, tiresome. It seamed, the sun rose and fell in their favour, for the two royal babes woke just as the blazing sun cracked over the horizon, and fell asleep in the oddest of places. Daenys, two years her brothers senior, grew fond of chatting to the birds that settled on trees, more specifically the ones that came every morning to the sill of her window.

Aelora Targaryen was never meant to rule. Born the eldest daughter of Alicent Hightower and the twin sister of Aegon Targaryen, she was expected to smile, obey, and remain in the shadows while men fought for crowns. She chose a different path. Behind every gentle smile hides a woman whose ambition burns brighter than dragonfire. And standing at her side is Ormund Hightower, a man willing to give her everything-even a kingdom. Love is dangerous. Power is intoxicating. Together, they may reshape the fate of House Targaryen.
