The Crown We Carry

Jacaerys Velaryon was raised to believe that a crown was never a prize, but a responsibility.

When the death of King Viserys tears House Targaryen apart and the Iron Throne is stolen from Rhaenyra, Jace finds himself at the center of a war that threatens to destroy everyone he loves. Yet where others choose vengeance, fear, and fire, the Golden Prince searches for another path-one built on loyalty freely given, mercy without weakness, and the belief that even the oldest wounds do not have to be inherited.

Beside him stands Helaena Targaryen, a dreamer trapped between prophecy, family, and a life others chose for her. Together, amid dragons, broken oaths, forbidden love, war, and the weight of an uncertain future, they may discover that destiny is not something written in blood.

A prophecy is a warning, not a command. And a crown was never meant to be carried alone.
