"Before the Dance of the Dragons, another flame arrived in King's Landing - one not born of House Targaryen." Sent at the age of seven, Princess Elarya of House Veynaros, heir to a distant empire of dragonlords, comes to King Viserys' court as a living pact between two kingdoms. Promised one day to wed Prince Aegon, she is watched not only by the Red Keep, but by the four great dragons her father sent with her - a warning and a promise of fire. But Elarya does not walk the path chosen for her. Raised among the Targaryens, bound by blood and flame, her destiny entwines with Prince Aemond - a boy as restless and hungry for power as the dragons they claim. As loyalties fracture and the realm drifts toward war, Elarya must decide: Will she remain a daughter bound by duty, or rise as a queen who holds the power to change the fate of dragons?
