    Summary

    Helena flees one dystopian war and wakes in another realm.

    Westeros has no place for her: pale-haired, foreign-tongued, nameless, unclaimed, and impossible to explain. In the wrong hands, she could become rumor or weapon. In other hands, a problem solved before anyone thinks to ask whether she wanted saving.

    Prince Maekar Targaryen intends to control the danger before it spreads.

    Helena knows what control can become. Tragically knows how easily protection can turn into a locked door, a decided path, a hand closing where permission was never given. She has survived too much to mistake command for kindness.

    Maekar knows danger differently. To him, safety is structure, vigilance, order. The firm hand placed between threat and what must not be lost.

    Neither is wrong.
    Together, they are ruinous.

    But his children trust her, his household bends around her, and somewhere between suspicion and restraint, Helena becomes more than the danger Maekar meant to contain—and Maekar becomes more than the man Helena meant to survive.

    Between them grows a slow, dangerous tenderness. A love built not from ease, but from the painful work of learning where care ends and possession begins.
