Hi everyone,
I think it’s finally time I introduce myself :)
My name is Inga. I’m a longtime fan of A Song of Ice and Fire - both the books and the show - which inspired this story.
Although it begins in the modern world, the story quickly folds into the Westerosi universe without altering its lore. All canon characters remain true to their origins. The modern perspective simply acts as a lens - a way for the reader to witness the world as both outsider and participant, especially in the more intimate, romantic moments.
⚠️ Important: The Devil is used purely as a literary figure - a narrator, a symbol, and a device for exploring desire and ambition. He is not meant to reference religion in any offensive way. I respect all beliefs, and here, he serves as a mythic character. To me, he shares many traits with Petyr Baelish - manipulation, seduction, strategy - so I blended them.
I know Baelish isn’t the most popular character, but he’s been my favourite. I’ve never been drawn to heroes - I prefer the ones who move through shadows and whose motives are layered. Let’s be honest… some of them have more schemes than Dorne has wine :)
The first few chapters move quickly, skipping through time a bit - but it smooths out once the main character begins to find her place in the story.
Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy the journey
