    Summary

    She had tried, every day of her travel west- and it had been a long journey, two months on the Roseroad- to be grateful, to be happy, to find that girlish glee she had once felt at the idea of wedding Willas. She didn’t know him, but he was sure to be as handsome as his brothers, even if he was very old, four-and-twenty. He was sure to be as gentle and kind and clever as Margaery and Lady Alerie and all the others had promised her. So why didn’t she feel relieved? Why didn’t she feel satisfied?

    Because everyone I love is dead, she thought. Because I was ruined by my husband, even if he never truly touched me, and before him, Joffrey. The Lannisters had tainted her. When Willas saw the scars on her back from the Kingsguard’s beatings, when he realized she’d been in bed with a man before, even a man who hadn’t taken her maidenhead- he would be disgusted.

    Summary

    After twelve years of marriage, Prince Maegor and his wife Ceryse Hightower have at long-last conceived a child!

    The realm rejoices... or would be, if Aegon the Conqueror were not on his funeral bier and his heir, Aenys, was not such an indecisive man-child.

    Ceryse is thrilled... or would be, if someone could tell her what is going on, where she is, and why her husband keeps launching into villainous monologues.

    Summary

    A Low-Effort Account of High-Stakes Nonsense

    Holly is done with saving the world. After a war, funeral after funeral, and one unfortunate wish made to a magical room with no sense of boundaries, she ends up somewhere very far from home—and very much someone else’s problem.

    Now she runs a not-entirely-legal bakery in a city where flour is political, dragons are supposed to be terrifying (hers is the size of a teacup), and minding your own business is practically a crime. She’s got no interest in thrones, titles, or noble nonsense.

    Which is exactly why the nobles won’t leave her alone.

    All Holly wants is to survive, stay unimportant, and keep her pastry case full. But when a certain highborn woman starts showing up for tea, Holly finds herself dragged—reluctantly—into court gossip, royal secrets, and a mess big enough to topple a kingdom.

    She didn’t come here to change the world. But the world keeps showing up at her door.
