God Killer | Cregan Stark

Blending archaeological fact and legend, the myths of the gods and the feats of heroes, Archmaester Gyldayn breaths new life into the classic tale of the Dance of the Dragons-reinventing larger than life figures as living people engaged in a desperate struggle that dooms both victors and the vanquished, their fate seen through the eyes of Baelys Targaryen-princess, sister, daughter, mother, wife and a passionate woman with the spirit of a dragon.

"Said to be waspish from birth, Prince Daemon, the second son of Prince Baelon, was never one to welcome the ideal of an arranged marriage, especially not to a woman he had no affection for. In 97 AC, when his grandmother, Queen Alysanne, insisted that he wed Lady Rhea of House Royce, the prince candidly made his dissatisfaction known. The Vale was a foreign land to the prince, and Lady Rhea seemed to be as distant as her castle of Runestone. Their first meeting did nothing to ease any misgivings. The Lady Rhea returned the prince's disgruntlement, and there was no spark or connection to be found between them; both were cold and unwelcoming. Seeing his son's discontent, Prince Baelon intervened. He sought for his son's happiness and wisely suggested that Daemon marry Princess Gael, his aunt who was a year older than him, instead-a match that would be of pure Targaryen origins. Much to the surprise of the court, the Good Queen agreed, and thus, Daemon was spared a union that would have been a burden instead of a blessing."
