Fires of Fate | Aemond Targaryen

Aelyra Targaryen, daughter of House Targaryen, has never craved power, nor the throne that so many have bled for. A dragonrider at heart, she has always revered the sacred bond her family shares with the dragons-creatures of legend, fire, and untold power. She is no warrior, but a keeper of ancient knowledge passed down through her bloodline, the ancient ways that the Targaryens have guarded for centuries.

Though betrothed to Aemond since childhood, Aelyra has found peace in Dragonstone, where the winds and the call of dragons offered a freedom few could understand. But when duty calls, she must leave the island that has always been her true home and travel to King's Landing-a place she loathes, and to a court now dominated by the Hightowers, as the frail King Viserys falters. There, the air is thick with tension, ambition, and betrayal.

As the Dance of the Dragons ignites across the realm, Aelyra is unwillingly swept into a conflict that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear-her family, her house, and the dragons she calls kin. Her loyalty has never been to crowns or thrones, but to the ancient ways of her ancestors and the dragons bound to her soul.

In a world consumed by ambition and bloodshed, Aelyra must face the fires of fate that threaten to consume all she has ever known. Will she remain a mere witness to the war for the throne, or will she rise as a force of destiny, torn between her bloodline and the beasts of legend that have always been her truest companions?
