    Summary

    Young Daemon wakes from a terrible dream where an ancestor explained exactly how his impetuous and violent nature damaged everyone he loved and contributed to the fall of his family. An emotionally damaged Daemon decides he has to change, no matter how much he wants to insist that a prince of the blood should get his way. And if that means he must marry an ugly woman, he will close his eyes and comply. But he might find that sometimes love that is slow to grow can make the strongest bonds.

    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.

    Summary

    Between public rituals and private attempts on the king's life, the first weeks following the ascension of Taše Komai, first of his name, have already been unpleasant enough for a lifetime. But as the king and his captain-turned-slave are quickly learning, peace is too fragile a thing to be kept without breaking themselves over it a little more along the way.

    Summary

    “Ask your question, Daenerys,” Stannis said.

    Daenerys took a breath, and asked the question that had plagued her ever since leaving King’s Landing. “Your brother, the king, only lost his betrothed, and he hates me. Eddard Stark lost over half his family because of mine, and yet he will welcome me as his kin?” Her voice rose at the last, as she was no longer able to hide her disbelief, her fear.

    “Ned Stark is a man of honor,” Stannis said. “He has no interest in avenging his family by tormenting you.” Unlike the king, neither of them said aloud.

    (In a world where Viserys Targaryen escaped Westeros without his mother or sister, Daenerys Targaryen grows up as the ward of Stannis Baratheon, living at the mercy of the Great Houses that brought about the downfall of her family.)
