Princess Aelora Targaryen was raised to understand one simple truth: love has no place in matters of succession.
Daughter of Queen Rhaenyra and once promised to two green Princes, Aelora accepts that her marriage will always belong to the realm before it belongs to her. But when Aemond's pursuit of Lucerys ends in her brother's death, the match is broken-and whatever fragile peace remained between the two branches of House Targaryen burns with it.
Then Aelora is captured.
Stranded in Green territory and held as one of the war's most valuable prisoners, she expects cruelty, humiliation, and perhaps death. What she does not expect is Daeron Targaryen-Alicent's youngest son, a prince she barely knew existed, and the brother of the man she has every reason to hate.
Daeron is everything Aelora was taught the Greens were not: courteous, thoughtful, dangerously easy to trust.
And entirely forbidden.
As war consumes Westeros and loyalty becomes indistinguishable from treason, Aelora must decide whether the man standing on the opposite side of the battlefield is truly her enemy-or the first person she has ever been allowed to choose for herself.
She was promised to one Green prince.
She never meant to fall for another.
