“We are not born with power. We bleed for it. And when the world does not give us a crown, we carve our names into the bones of those who tried to keep it.” — Valyrian proverb, origin disputed

Summary:
[BOOK ONE IN THE HOUSE OF VHARARYS SERIES]
In the aftermath of the Doom of Valyria, House Vahrarys-one of the last surviving dragonlord families-returns to Westeros cloaked in secrets, power, and ancient flame. Lyrah Vahrarys, sharp-tongued and untamed, is bound by duty to marry Prince Daemon Targaryen, forging a political alliance meant to tether her dragonfire to the Iron Throne.
But Lyrah is no obedient bride.
Forced to consummate her marriage under the eyes of the court, Lyrah endures a brutal tradition meant to strip her of autonomy and crown her a spectacle. Yet even in pain, she does not break. Daemon, reckless and unrepentant, shields her in ways no one expects-becoming both weapon and refuge as the two clash, burn, and slowly begin to understand the dangerous power in choosing one another.
As whispers coil through court and old blood rises from beneath the stone, Lyrah must navigate venomous politics, a tyrannical mother, and the treacherous pull of her own heart. Bound by fire, fear, and the ghosts of Valyria, she refuses to kneel-not to kings, not to tradition, not even to love.
Because some dragons were never meant to be tamed.
