It has been 13 years since the end of the Blackfyre Rebellion, and the Seven Kingdoms is at peace with King Daeron ruling over the realm with his Hand, Prince Baelor. In King’s Landing, there sits the royal family and its most precious jewel, Princess Maella Targaryen. Though there are secrets and plots aplenty in court, Princess Maella stands at the center of every celebration. One such celebration occurs at a tourney in Ashford, where the first seeds of a secret love— and a sinister plot— are planted. What fruit will these seeds bear? And how will they change Westeros? For better or for worse.
