AFTER the deaths of her father, Prince Baelor, and her brothers, and her mother's tragic suicide, Princess Jacaela Targaryen is left alone in the world. Raised on Dragonstone under the care of her grandsire, King Daeron II, she grows increasingly isolated and unstable. When the king dies and Prince Aerys inherits the Iron Throne, he finds himself burdened with a problem no lord wants to touch: a beautiful but deeply troubled princess whose reputation makes marriage impossible.
Unwilling to keep her at court, Aerys sends Jacaela to Summerhall to live with his younger brother, Prince Maekar Targaryen, and his family. There, amid a family she had no place in, Jacaela slowly begins to find a place for herself. Yet the one person she cannot seem to avoid is Maekar himself. A stern, dutiful prince who sees beyond the madness that follow her.
In the warmth of Summerhall, a broken princess and a hardened, widowed prince may discover that healing, loyalty, and love can bloom in the most barren land.
