To Marry A Kingdom

The Kingdom of Seranthor has hated Velthros since before Maeryn was born-which is awkward, because she just arranged her own marriage to their second prince. Why? Because a suspiciously convenient prophecy said it was a good idea. And also... because it might help her escape the one thing scarier than war: a medicinal herb lore exam.
Princess Maeryn of Velthros has mastered swordsmanship. Nailed archery. But when it comes to remembering which root cures fevers and which one causes explosive diarrhea? Yeah, she's doomed. Cue Operation: Royal Marriage.
Enter Prince Alaric of Seranthor-also known as the "boring prince," although Maeryn would argue he's more "brooding menace" He doesn't like her. She definitely doesn't like him. But now they're stuck together under one roof, dodging their royal duties, complicated curses, and the growing, uncomfortable realization that...love.. is just another curse.
(FYI she still ends up writing that exam)
Thank you for reading!!! <3 Hope you enjoyed it!!

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."
