    Summary

    “To live is to bloom. To love is to remember. To remember is to suffer.”

    If we were given the chance, what would we change about our lives ? If we had to do it all over again, which mistakes would we try to put right ? What pain, what remorse, what regret would we choose to erase ? Would we really dare to give our lives a new meaning ? But to become what ? To go where ? And with whom ?

    Transported eighteen years in the past and having had no choice but to answer Queen Alicent Hightower’s summons, Viraelya, filled with apprehension, finds herself back in King’s Landing. A place that was as much her own grave as it was that of the people she loved. As the court still basks in peace, she can only see the shadows of the war to come : broken children, burning dragons, and the ruins left behind by fire and ambition. While most people finds themselves unsettled by this strange little girl with silver eyes far too old for her years, Viraelya is forced to stand before the very individuals she once blamed for the destruction of everyone she ever held dear in another life.
    Some places never release their ghosts. And some ghosts return to change the story.

    Summary

    Gwendolyn Thorn had always been aware of her position, coming from a minor house. Daughter of the steward of Ashford Meadow, the line that divided her between an ordinary person and someone of noble birth was a single name without much wealth. But such awareness was of little use against the shrewd and tempestuous ambition of her mother, who saw in her daughter a chance to rise in the hierarchy through an advantageous marriage.

    When an extravagant tourney is announced — one that attracts knights and noble families from all over the realm — to celebrate her best friend’s name day, Gwendolyn finds herself faced with the special attention of a prince of the realm. She struggles not to let herself be carried away by her daydreams and by all the feelings that make her heart seem to float, for she knows that her name would never secure her a future alongside the second in line to the Iron Throne.

    Yet, the more she fights to stay away from this flame, the more she will be drawn to it, for being loved by a Targaryen comes at a high price.

    Summary

    Two years after the devastating Dance of Dragons, Aemond Targaryen, the fearsome Kinslayer, now sat upon the throne of Westeros. Driven by a desire to strengthen his House, he was confronted by a well known fact- all the dragons had been slain from the world, leaving only their precious eggs as a painful reminder.

    'How could the House of the Dragon thrive without Dragons?'

    Lady Laviniya Targaryen, safely residing with her mother's family in The Runestone, was his long-forgotten cousin. She was as the small folk would refer to in the centuries to follow, 'The Bronze Dragoness.'
