In a Westeros trembling on the edge of civil war, Thalassa Celtigar arrives at court as the new lady-in-waiting to Rhaenyra Targaryen. Proud, cunning, and bound by loyalty to the Realm's Delight, Thalassa steps into a world where whispers kill faster than blades, and every smile hides a threat. With House Hightower scheming to place Aegon on the Iron Throne, Rhaenyra's claim grows ever more precarious, and Thalassa becomes her most trusted weapon in the shadows.
But the greatest victories are the ones never fought.
Tasked with ensuring Rhaenyra's rise without plunging the realm into dragonfire and ruin, Thalassa wages a war of diplomacy and deception-winning hearts, silencing threats, and reshaping the court from within. At her side stands Prince Daemon Targaryen: husband, ally, and weapon. Together, they are a storm cloaked in velvet, too dangerous to challenge, too essential to cast aside.
As the crown draws near and enemies close in, Thalassa must outmaneuver a realm teetering on the edge of war. But in a world built on lies and loyalties, the greatest danger may not be losing the game-but what she's willing to sacrifice to win it.
