Summary
When a grief-stricken, alpha Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen flees to the Stepstones to prove her worth, she returns a conqueror, scarred, crowned, and finally coming into her power. But she finds the Red Keep has moved on without her: her mother is dead, her father has married her former companion, and a new son casts a shadow over her claim.
Betrayed and exiled, Rhaenyra vows to forge her own power in the fire of ambition. Meanwhile, Queen Alicent Hightower is torn between her duty to a fading king, the relentless scheming of her father, and the lingering bond with the fierce princess whose laughter still rings in her ears. As the two women are pulled apart by the tides of power and legacy, a single thread remains: "you are the only part of this city I still care for."
In a game of thrones where love and duty are weapons, the realm will learn that a dragon's claim is written in blood.
