Presumed dead. Enslaved for years. Returned to a realm that had already moved on.
Elaena Targaryen was meant to be the heir to the Iron Throne until fate stole her crown, her childhood, and her place in history. Now returned from the shadows, she walks a fragile line between duty and desire, power and pain, past and present.
At her side, unwilling yet unyielding, stands Daemon Targaryen. A warrior, prince, and the man who plays the game of thrones for her.
But the realm is splintering. The Dance of the Dragons looms. And between court whispers and wildfire hearts, Elaena must decide what kind of woman she will be and who, if anyone, she can truly trust.
A story of grief, resilience, forbidden love, and the war that would tear House Targaryen apart.

The two children would often sneak away from their duties to play with the wooden swords Aemond had stolen for the Princess, or lay outside of the dragon pit watching as the creators of their house flew around, or sometimes they would sit in the gardens with the rest of the new generation of Velaryon and Targyern, sitting next to each other and often the of two children would lay their head on the others shoulder and drift to sleep grasping onto each other's hand. But as they grew up, the feelings they had for each other grew into something more, Aemond growing protective over Visenya and glaring at any lord or prince that would come her way at balls wanting a dance, wanting nothing more for his mother and father to agree to the Princess Rhaenyra proposal of marriage between the two.

A Dance of Fire and Thorns
Aemond Targaryen, prince of the realm, is to be betrothed to Lyanna Tyrell, lady of Highgarden, in a desprerate attempt to secure aliances of the Greens' fragile rule. Lyanna is poised, beautiful and brings with her the wealth of the Reach. But this is Westeros, and everyone has an agenda. The author wrote this story to be a slow burn, immersive experience. It's a journey of love and sensuality in a world of war, duty and intrigue. Inspired by the famous brothel scene between Aemond and Sylvie, the story explores and slowly exposes Aemond's deep need for comfort and acceptance, as well as the journey of allowing the slow, but powerful, release of his sexual restraint - all while continuing to maintain his powerful facade to the world. A student of psychoanalysis, this author delves into the intricacies of inner conflict, exploring the cracks in each character's armor. The narrative captures the initial spark of desire, the complexities of navigating a relationship, and the mounting pressures on a prince in a world fraught with expectation and tension. * This story contains description of explicit sexual acts and acts of violence.Complete
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."
