Lyarra Snow, bastard daughter of Winterfell, has never believed in songs. Songs are for trueborn girls with pretty names and, has never believed golden futures. Bastards learn sharper lessons: where to sit, when to be silent, and how much love they are allowed to keep.
Then, on the night of her first blood, a soulmark burns itself onto her skin.
Its match belongs to Oberyn Martell.
Prince. Warrior. Father. Lover. Viper.
A man feared across Westeros, bound by fate to a Northern girl he has never met.
To the Faith, their mark is sacred.
To Dorne, it is destiny.
To the great Houses, it is opportunity.
To Lyarra, it feels like a door closing behind her.
Sent toward a future written by Gods and men, Lyarra must step into a world where every smile hides a blade and every marriage is a battlefield. The South expects a shy bastard girl, grateful for a prince's name.
They do not expect a wolf.
And Oberyn Martell, who has spent years chasing vengeance, may soon learn that the Gods have not given him a bride to tame.
They have given him someone just as dangerous to lose.
