The Heiress of Shadowed Ash and Traitorous Tides

Hidden from the court and the world, Seraphina Vaelryon grows up in Dorne, a hidden child of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Ser Laenor Velaryon. Sent away under the lie of a rare "dragon scale deformity," she is raised in isolation-except by her father and the Dornish royal family, who love her as their own. A prodigy in battle, diplomacy, and leadership, Seraphina earns the fierce loyalty of Dorne's people, becoming their beloved little princess, truly adored where her mother's name "The Realms Delight" rings hollow in the hearts of many, noble and commoner alike.

But when Laenor dies suddenly in King's Landing, a shadow of suspicion follows her: could her Mother's ambition have played a deadly role in her father's death? With only questions and a legacy to uphold, Seraphina returns to the capital years later, dragon and phoenix at her side, to defend her family's honor and assert the strength of House Velaryon.

Caught in a web of ambition, deceit, and desire, she must navigate a treacherous court-and a dangerous love triangle. Prince Daemon Targaryen sees in her the reflection of everything he loves and hates about her mother, while Prince Aemond Targaryen's ambition burns as fiercely as her own. In a realm built on bloodlines and lies, Seraphina must choose not only her loyalty, but her heart-and forge her own destiny from the ashes of betrayal.
