    Summary

    “Has Aerion repeated his… advances?” Baelor asks carefully.

    “Well, he—The prince is…”

    “Like a whore desperate for some coin.”

    “Stubborn.” Ser Duncan finishes, wide-eyed.

    “That too, I suppose,” Baelor says wryly. “I don’t need to tell you to pay him no mind, do I?”

    “No,” The knight denies vehemently. “I won’t disappoint you like that, Your Grace.”

    A pause, after which Baelor hears himself ask as though he’s outside of his body, listening in. He regrets the words as soon as they come out of his mouth. “And if you hadn’t pledged yourself to me?”

    Ser Duncan looks caught, his blush darkening high up in his cheeks. “I have no business doing that with a prince.”

    “And if he wasn’t one?” He presses.

    “I don’t know. Aerion is hateful, but—pretty.”

    “Yes, I suppose so.” Baelor sighs. Aerion is pretty. It’s everything he hides behind that which makes him ugly.

    “You are very handsome as well, Your Grace.” Ser Duncan is quick to reassure him, nodding seriously.

    Inevitably charmed, Bealor has to hide his smile behind his hand.

    Or, Dunk gets two Targaryen squires and finds himself in the middle of a bizarre love triangle.

    Summary

    Having secured the Iron Throne for her mother through her marriage to the Lord of the Hightower, Princess Elaenys Velaryon knows that while others would celebrate the fruits of their labors, her labor has just begun. Pregnant and married to the most powerful Lord of the Realm, there is no peace in a man who stands above them all.

    Especially not when she finds herself facing the man she could have had instead. The kind, the gentle, and the honorable Ser Gwayne Hightower. Her sworn shield and the only true companion she has in a court that knows no honor, no peace, nor satisfaction. Torn between her heart, her duty, and her pride: Elaenys must face that the life she thought she would have is not the one she originally thought. And that the man she managed to make hers is going to demand return on his investment. What he asks for may not be a crown: but instead something that is not just hers to give.

    Summary

    It is a business arrangement. Trade routes lined out, taxes reduced, documents signed, hands shaken. Maris Morrigen is a bargaining chip, a boon to her kin. Second wife of the Anvil, his sons having been too unsettled to marry her too. So she marries a man who has six children already, a man grown, a man made, fifteen years older than she. He tells her on their wedding night: there will be no more children, there will be no foolishness and childhood fantasy of what lies between them. It was duty that bound them.

    For it, she would have wealth, only be expected to help raise the last three of his children, and they could live their separate lives. It is a…strange existence from the life Septas tell girls they will live. But not cruel. There are worse fates to face.

    Summary

    Vesper Sitara was raised to be a legacy.

    Daughter of two infamous Tyrrish assassins, she arrives at Basgiath War College with one goal: to make her parents proud and ensure their name is never forgotten. While others fight to survive the Riders Quadrant, Vesper intends to conquer it-blade, bone, and fire.

    Placed under the command of Xaden Riorson, the ruthless wingleader tasked with keeping the marked ones alive, Vesper quickly becomes a problem he can't control. He demands restraint. She was raised for rebellion. Every clash between them burns sharper than the last-and no matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to stay away from him, even when she knows exactly how dangerous that is.

    As her first year unfolds, Vesper gains power: a dragon as savage as she is, and a place in a quiet rebellion growing beneath Navarre's rule. But chasing her parents' legacy means stepping deeper into blood, secrets, and a war that is far from over.

    Vesper Sitara didn't come to Basgiath to survive.

    She came to become a legend...even if it kills her.
