Unrelinquished Dawn - Aegon Targaryen

"If I am to burn, let it be in the shadow of your mouth, beneath the aching lunar pull of your touch. I will love you, where i'm not supposed to go." -Leticia Lillestrom

Aelora Targaryen, twin to Aerion, was born of Daemon Targaryen-the Rogue Prince, as the realm so often whispered. From the moment they entered the world, the twins were marked by loss. Their mother died soon after childbirth, and Daemon vanished like smoke, leaving his children behind. Abandoned and vulnerable, they were delivered to King's Landing and placed in the care of their uncle, King Viserys. A Targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing, Viserys would murmur to himself, and so the twins were raised beside his own children, never truly alone, yet never wholly at home.
The distance between Aelora and Aegon was never great-at least not in his mind. Wherever she went, he followed, even when she sought solitude. Despite Aerion's sharp protests and Aelora's quiet insistence on independence, Aegon lingered at her side, a constant presence she could neither escape nor entirely resent.
Aelora cared little for courtly games or whispered schemes. Politics bored her; ambition frightened her. But fate is rarely kind to those who wish to stand apart. When she is betrothed to the man she loves-only to watch him seize the Iron Throne from his elder sister, Rhaenyra Targaryen-Aelora is forced into the heart of a conflict she never wanted.

And in a world where love and loyalty collide with fire and blood, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice.
