But the war changes when Ragnar's own son, Prince Erik, betrays his father and seeks sanctuary in Isabella's court. His knowledge may save Caelestri-or destroy it from within. As villages burn, allies demand painful sacrifices, and revenge tempts her heart, Isabella must decide what kind of queen she will become. To defeat Ragnar, she may have to become stronger than steel-not untouched by fire, but shaped by it. Scarred, tested, and still standing, she will rise as the Queen of Bronze.

She was meant to be a pawn in their game of thrones. Instead, she broke the board. Tired of the suffocating politics of the Red Keep and deeply wounded by her father's decisions, sixteen-year-old Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen makes an unthinkable choice. Leaving behind only farewell letters, she takes to the sky on her golden dragon, Syrax, and vanishes into the night-shattering the line of succession and plunging the Seven Kingdoms into an unprecedented political deadlock. While King's Landing fractures in her absence-leaving Queen Alicent to desperately forge new alliances and hold a crumbling court together-Rhaenyra charts a bold new path across the Narrow Sea. In the ancient, storied cities of Essos, she transforms from a fugitive princess into a sovereign dragonlord in her own right, building an independent empire of wealth and influence entirely on her own terms. Driven by forgotten bloodlines and ancient visions, Rhaenyra's journey leads her beyond the edges of the known world to a fortress of fused stone hidden beneath the bones of a titan dragon. There, deep within the subterranean fires of a forgotten realm, she uncovers secrets capable of reshaping the future of House Targaryen forever. Rich in Valyrian lore, political intrigue, and grand ambition, Geros ilas is an epic tale of a princess who refused to be ruled-and the realm she left burning in her wake.

Hey Sis... Sit a Spell Life has a way of asking women to carry everything. The expectations. The heartbreak. The joy. The children. The dreams that never came true. The ones that finally did. The quiet victories no one applauds and the battles no one else ever sees. Hey Sis... Sit a Spell is an invitation. An invitation to pause, breathe, laugh, cry, remember, heal, and celebrate the women we have been, the women we are becoming, and the women who carried us here. Through deeply personal, honest, and heartfelt poetry, Shay Jones explores the many faces of womanhood, from the little girl searching for her place in the world to the grandmother whose wisdom still echoes around the family table. Along the way, she honors the beauty, resilience, humor, pain, and unbreakable spirit of women everywhere while drawing from the rich experiences and traditions of Black womanhood. Within these pages are stories of sisterhood, motherhood, friendship, grief, love, survival, identity, healing, and hope. Some poems will remind you of your mother. Others will sound like your best friend. A few may feel like they were written just for you. So, pull up a chair. Pour yourself something warm. Stay awhile. The circle has been waiting for you.

I have stood in the deep long before memory dared to breathe.
