This is the tale of Visenya Targaryen. No-not the Conqueror. Everyone knows the marriage between Daemon Targaryen and Rhea Royce was forged in resentment and sharpened by pride. But history forgets what followed a drunken night, a careless insult, and a child conceived in fury. A daughter. From the moment she drew breath, it was as if she had been chosen. Vhagar herself yields an egg for her cradle. Daemon understands the omen. His blood. His fire. Visenya Ingrid Targaryen-Lady of Runestone. Bride of Winterfell. Regent of the North. Rider of a sapphire dragon nearly the size of Vhagar herself. When the Dance of the Dragons begins, she is not a pawn in her father's war. She is the storm above it. Gods may flip coins for Targaryens. Visenya makes her own fate.

"Why me? There are better candidates for the empress." "But they're not you, and I will always choose you."

Luna's magic has a pulse of its own. A second heartbeat beneath her skin-restless, watchful, and growing stronger. Once a nameless orphan rescued from the ruins of the Witch Domain, Luna is raised as the heir to Moonhaven, a kingdom built on moonlight and fragile peace. Chosen to rule, she becomes both shield and symbol for a world still scarred by war. Her magic is powerful, immediate, and indispensable-but it is no longer entirely hers. As ley lines weaken and ancient forces stir, the darkness entwined with Luna's power begins to surface. It hums in her veins, bleeds into her spells, and tightens its grip with every life she saves. Each battle fought in defense of her people brings the shadow closer to the surface. When the darkness lives beneath your skin, how long can you command the light before it answers something else?

Between golden apples, fairy curses, and a haunted castle, a disguised princess begins her journey towards the crown.** "Beware of apples made of golden light. Their sweetness knows no end-only a price for every immortal heart beats to the rhythm of a trade. For the otherworld gives no miracles out of mercy- only promises sealed with blood." - Morgana LeFay - Since Avalon was ravaged by flames and consumed by fog, the boundaries to the otherworld have become thin: trees sing ominous songs, rivers change their course, children disappear unseen from their beds, and the Aos Sídhe prepare for battle.

However, when an engagement is set to seal her future, she quickly steals away in the guise of the young squire Arthur and secretly joins the entourage of her foster brother Cei. What begins as a journey to freedom leads brother and sister far from home into the clutches and intrigues of the otherworld when, beyond a heavy fog, they encounter an enchanted castle whose walls conceal a tree bearing golden apples... It soon becomes clear whether Arianna has the courage to claim her legacy, for one thing is certain: only a king can unite the warring lords. The mortals as well as the immortals.

What... what... so am I overpowered from the start, like those isekai protagonists?" he mutters, a smirk tugging at his lips as the absurdity of the situation hits him. For a moment, he feels it-the urge, that ridiculous, cliché moment where he should lower his head, place a hand over his face, and let out that slow, ominous chuckle. The kind that echoes with menace. The kind the overpowered protagonists always do when they realize their strength. "Mwahaha, I am gonna be unstoppable!" Mwahaha... He stops midway, sighs, and mutters, "Wait... this is way too cringe." His fingers twitch. He takes a breath. ...Then, he scoffs. "Tch." He clicks his tongue, shaking his head. "Yeah, that really won't suit me." Then he grins. Not the exaggerated, theatrical grin of a villain, but something darker, sharper-one that could freeze the blood in your veins. A grin that promises something no one wants to see. He exhales slowly, and a laugh slips from him-low, guttural, and dripping with malice. It doesn't explode. It doesn't need to. It slides into the air, filling every inch of the room with a quiet, suffocating certainty. "Ah... haha... heh." He wasn't just Vael Seraphis. He realized he was something beyond the limits of this reality. The Elias Varn he once used to be now is dead. Vael Seraphis had been born anew. And this was only the beginning.
