Liora

"Love and duty are two cages wrought of gold - one you enter, the other you are born inside."

When Lady Joanna Lannister dies, her ten-year-old daughter Liora inherits not only her mother's beauty but her burdens. As her father serves the Iron Throne, the child becomes the lady of Casterly Rock - keeper of her siblings, guardian of her house, and the quiet soul who holds the West together with grace and restraint.

Years later, a prince comes west.
The tourney at Lannisport should have been Cersei's triumph, but when Prince Rhaegar's eyes find Liora instead, a new chain is forged - one of gold, politics, and duty.

Bound to a man she does not love, Liora must balance her father's ambition, her sister's envy, and the dangerous affections that grow between the walls of her own home. To protect her family, she will do the unthinkable: break what must be broken and bear the sin herself.
