What if Alicent Hightower was no longer naïve? No longer the dutiful daughter, the obedient wife, or the pawn of men who sought to use her for their own ambitions? What if she refused to be silenced, to be manipulated, to be cast aside?
Tired of being controlled by her father and exploited by the men around her, Alicent Hightower rises not as a woman to be pitied, but as a queen to be feared. With a sharp mind and an iron will, she seizes control of her own destiny, reshaping the war that will come to be known as the Dance of the Dragons.
Alicent refuses to be a victim. She will not beg, she will not bow. She will rule. And the realm will burn for it.
SHE WILL LIGHT THE WAY.
