Caera Velaryon is the only child of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon - a true-born Targaryen and Velaryon by blood and name. Beloved across the realm, she shares a deep and unshakable bond with her uncle, Prince Aemond Targaryen. Raised in the Red Keep during her early years, Caera's world shifts when Queen Alicent Hightower orders her and her family to relocate to Dragonstone, tearing her away from the young prince she holds closest to her heart. Years later, their paths cross once more on Driftmark - but what should have been a joyful reunion ends in heartbreak and bitterness. After the infamous fight between Lucerys and Aemond, the Greens return to King's Landing. Caera continues writing to Aemond, but when her letters go unanswered, she eventually stops trying. Nine years pass. Now grown and hardened by time and distance, Caera and Aemond are brought together again - not by fate, but by an unexpected political proposal. Only now, the love they once shared has withered into something far more dangerous: hatred.

These Ashes Between Us | A. Targaryen
{More Book accurate than Show accurate Cuz Fuck Ryan Condal & Sara Hess} Born in the heart of fire and blood, Saera Velaryon, the eldest daughter and heir of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, was a child beloved beyond measure-a princess draped in adoration, raised to believe the Iron Throne was her birthright. The realm called her *Saera the Spoiled*, for she had never known a world where she was not treasured. But war does not spare even the most cherished. When the Dance of the Dragons erupts, the realm fractures between Black and Green. Prince Aemond Targaryen, the one-eyed rider of Vhagar, stands at the forefront of the war, a blade in the name of his mother, Queen Alicent Hightower, and his brother, King Aegon II. A warrior forged in anger, ruthless and unyielding, but was his sword ever truly theirs to start? Aemond harbors a secret-a devotion that undermines the very cause he supposedly fights for. For all his wrath and violence, his heart has been lost to Saera since childhood, bound to her by longing, by fate, by a love neither of them dared to name. When duty and desperation forced them into an marriage before the war broke, their union was meant to be a bridge between Green and Black, a political bond to quell animosity and resentment. But beneath the weight of war and betrayal, behind closed doors and whispered confessions, *love*-unyielding, undeniable-has already taken root. Their love is a treasonous thing, a flame burning between two sides sworn to destroy each other. And in the end, when the blood of kin stains the realm and dragons fall from the sky, Aemond must make a choice-his family or his wife, his crown or his heart. For what is duty when weighed against devotion? And what is a throne when set against love? _ "And then the storm broke, and the dragons danced."

Dark Paradise | Aegon II x Saera Targaryen
Princess Saera Targaryen is everything Alicent prayed would never happen. To Prince Aegon, his sister has always been his best friend, his twin flame since childhood. But when adolescence blooms, and King's Landing becomes a playground for the King and Queen's neglected firstborns, scandal, desire, drama, and reckless pleasure become their daily ritual. Meanwhile, the realm whispers. "Saera the Second," as the smallfolk call her, moves through life in the Red Keep caught between her mother's shame and regret, her father's slow decay, the first threads of usurpation beginning to stir, the quiet comfort of Helaena's friendship, the sharp, unspoken tension with Aemond- -and the bond with Aegon that no one dares name, and no God could ever sanctify. And in the shadows, someone watches her closely, proud of everything she's becoming.
