synopsis
What if duty and fate had bound Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower togetherโnot as rivals, but as wives?
The realm is forever changed when King Viserys decrees their betrothal, uniting the Princess and the daughter of the Hand in marriage. With the Dance of the Dragons never taking flight, the realm is spared from civil war, yet the path ahead is far from simple.
As they navigate the delicate dance of courtship, marriage, and the burdens of power, Rhaenyra ascends as Heir Princess, with Alicent by her sideโnot as a stepmother, but as her partner, her Queen, and perhaps even her greatest love. But can love alone hold the realm together? Or will the shadows of ambition, duty, and old grudges still conspire to tear them apart?
