HL

Prince Aerion Targaryen is cruel, arrogant, and convinced there is something divine burning within his blood. Lady Aemma Arryn is everything he is not—gentle, charitable, and known throughout the Seven Kingdoms for an almost stubborn kindness. Their arranged marriage is meant to strengthen the bond between dragon and falcon, but Aerion soon finds himself strangely consumed by a wife who neither fears him nor excuses his cruelty. The more Aemma refuses to become hardened by him, the more desperately Aerion begins to want her goodness for himself.
