When the Cannibal Roared: A Queen's Answer to Treason

For years, Princess Valerion Targaryen, the prophesied heir to the Iron Throne, has been a ghost. Burdened by the uncontrollable, destructive power of her "Ruby Gaze" and weary of the political machinations of King's Landing, she vanished from Westeros. She found a fragile peace in a world far from her own, living under the alias "Scott" among a found family of outcasts known as the X-Men. There, she honed her discipline, using her ruby-quartz visor not just to contain her power, but to hide her royal past. In this new life, she found respect, purpose, and a quiet, magnetic connection with the charming thief, Gambit, who saw the inferno she kept locked behind her icy control.

This carefully constructed peace is shattered when a ghostly whisper finds its way across worlds-news of unspeakable betrayal. Her half-brother, Aegon II, has usurped her family's throne, but it is the murder of her young nephew, Prince Lucerys Velaryon, that reawakens the Targaryen fire she had so long suppressed. The grief and rage are a cataclysm. Her control breaks, unleashing a torrent of raw power that reveals her secret to the horrified and astonished X-Men. In a flash of telepathic feedback and raw energy, they see her true identity: not just a mutant, but a Queen, the Mother of Dragons, and the rightful ruler of a kingdom now drenched in the blood of her family.
