House of Blood

Princess Iryna Targaryen was born beneath the shadow of death.

The youngest daughter of King Viserys and Queen Aemma, she should have been little more than another forgotten princess in a court already consumed by questions of succession. Instead, before she was old enough to understand what a dragon was, she was claimed by Moongrum, an ancient white beast that had carried warriors into battles long before the Conquest.

While Rhaenyra is raised to inherit the Iron Throne and Alicent's sons become the hope of those who would see a king crowned in her place, Iryna grows unseen between them. Too wild for court, too young for war and far too dangerous to be ignored forever, she dreams of conquest while the realm prepares to tear itself apart.

But children do not remain children.

Years later, as old loyalties fracture and the Dance of the Dragons draws near, Iryna finds herself caught between blood, duty and desire. Gwayne Hightower was the first boy she ever loved, though he may not be the man she is permitted to marry. Alicent has another match in mind, one that could bind Iryna to the Greens forever, while another man watches the forgotten princess and sees something the rest of the realm failed to notice.

A conqueror.

The realm remembers Rhaenyra as its delight and Aegon as its firstborn son.

It will learn to remember Iryna as well.
