Bronze by Heart
A Daughter of Fire. A Legacy of Stone.
Raised among the ancient cliffs of Runestone, Visenya Royce knows little of dragons and even less of the man who left her behind - her father, Daemon Targaryen.
Taught to wield sword and shield by her stern grandfather and fierce protector, Rhea Royce, Visenya grows beneath the weight of secrets older than herself. She is not truly a Royce, not truly a Targaryen, and not truly wanted - or so she believes. All she has is her training, her stubborn pride, and a dragon's egg that refuses to hatch.
But as years pass and her heart hardens, Visenya begins to hear whispers of the truth: of bloodlines forged in fire, of a prince who haunts the godswood, and of a mother's promise broken in the woods.
When betrayal, love, and war creep into the Vale, Visenya must face the fire within - and decide what kind of legacy she will leave behind.
Is she the forgotten daughter of a dragon? Or the true heir to bronze and mountain?
In a world where loyalty costs lives, and identity is a weapon, Visenya must fight to become more than a shadow of the past. She must become the storm when the Dragons Sleep.

The Black Queen ✮ Maegor I Targaryen
Princess Daenerys was born beneath a silver moon-a rare omen marking her as chosen of the Valyrian Gods. Her grandfather Aegon, who had long guarded the secret of his conquest, recognized the sign. In his final days, he shared with her alone the vision that had driven him to unite the Seven Kingdoms: a darkness rising in the North, an enemy that would require all the fire of Old Valyria to defeat. He died before declaring her his heir. The throne passed to her father Aenys, a gentle man ill-suited to rule a realm forged in dragonfire. As the Seven Kingdoms fracture under rebellion and her father's grip falters, Daenerys does what no one expects: she claims Balerion the Black Dread-her grandfather's mount, the greatest dragon alive-and compels the lords of Westeros to name her heir to the Iron Throne. To secure her rule against those who would see a woman removed from power, she takes her uncle Maegor, the realm's most feared warrior, as her consort. Together, they will forge unity through fire if they must. But Daenerys carries a burden heavier than any crown: her grandfather's warning that the true war is not for the Iron Throne, but for the dawn itself. || Maegor I x OC || || Spin-off of Silver Queen || || #1 - Balerion || || #1 - Conquest || || #1 - maegor ||Complete

The Trustless Flame [ A Targaryen Love Story]
Born as the illegitimate daughter of Daemon Targaryen, Saera has spent her life in the shadows of the Red Keep, regarded as little more than a reminder of her father's indiscretions. Although Daemon raised her within the Red Keep from infancy, she has never experienced the comfort of true trust. His unwavering love cannot shield her from the cold judgment of the Targaryen court, nor can it erase the stigma of her birth. Now, at sixteen, Saera has grown into a young woman embodying her father's boldness but burdened by her status as a bastard. The whispers of the court are cruel, and her family's loyalties are fragile. While Daemon's fierce protection has helped forge her into a strong and independent woman, she remains wary, reluctant to trust those around her-especially the very family that looks down on her. When Aegon II Targaryen, her royal cousin and a central figure in the impending conflict of the Targaryen civil war, begins to show interest in her, Saera finds herself conflicted. He offers her a glimpse of warmth, but his courtly charm does little to alleviate her suspicions. For Saera, trust is a rare commodity, one that no Targaryen has ever truly earned. As the Dance of the Dragons commences, Saera must navigate a world filled with shifting allegiances and dangerous betrayals. With her father by her side, she faces the allure of new loyalties and the promise of power, all while questioning whether she can ever genuinely trust anyone, even those closest to her. The fire of Targaryen blood runs hot, but in Saera's heart, it is a flame that threatens to consume her completely. In a world where loyalty is tenuous and betrayal is commonplace, Saera must decide whether to confront the fire of trust or remain in the shadows of her father's legacy, forever a daughter of the trustless flame.Complete
