The Broken Prince who never wanted his Sister's Crown.
The 'Slave girl' who was raised in the birth place of Shadows.
Zhalia arrived from Asshai with nothing but shadows in her eyes. To hide her connection to Mysaria, she bypassed the brothels entirely and went straight into the royal kitchens. By day, she plays the meek, freed slave girl just looking to survive the harsh winters to come. By night, the White Worm carves her into a spy. It is the perfect cover story until the Prince works out how to unravel her and she begins to love him just as much as he loves her.
To get close to the broken prince, Zhalia offers him the one thing his family denies him, unconditional devotion and love. She doesn't demand greatness; she just listens. But what begins as a calculated deception rapidly spirals into a dangerous, suffocating codependency.
As Aegon genuinely falls for her, looking to her as his only sanctuary in a hostile court, Zhalia makes a terrifying realization.
She is leading the fragile, damaged young man she is falling deeply in love with straight to a political slaughterhouse.
Now, Zhalia holds secrets that could obliterate the Greens overnight. She is walking a literal minefield. If the White Worm discovers she is protecting her target, she dies as a traitor. If the Greens uncover her identity, she faces the horrors of the Red Keep's dungeons. Trapped between the growing tensions and dangers of the greens and Mysaria and the blacks. Zhalia must embrace all her knowledge and all her talents to spin a web of shadows that can help them get out alive.
