    Summary

    “He has already broken her betrothal to the Florents,” Aelinor whispered, her face lighting up as she finally finds occasion to speak and seems to have found an audience beyond her disinterested husband. “A match made when the girl was but three years old. Lord Owen paid the gold to see it undone, all in the hopes of catching a bigger fish in his nets.”

    Maekar felt the familiar, bitter heat rising in his gorge. He looked at his mother, whose eyes remained fixed on her wine, then at Baelor, who was studiously breaking a piece of bread.

    “A bigger fish?” Maekar’s voice was like grinding stones. “And here I sit, the lord of Summerhall, a widower in need of a wife, and the King’s own son. If this Laena is the wonder of the Reach, why is it the pious Sara you put before me? Why should the ‘Maiden Reborn’ not be my match instead?”

     

    OR

    The Queen has picked candidates for Prince Maekar's next wife. The choices would be easier to swallow if he had never met Laena Tyrell.

    Summary

    In the summer of 1982, under the scalding sun of a stifling season where cicadas wailed from the pines, Aerion Targaryen dropped to his knees in the scorched dirt of West Plains, Missouri, and screamed the air out of his lungs.

    Following his father’s death, Valarr moves South to live with his uncle and cousins. It only gets worse from there.

    Summary

    After the Second Wizarding War, Eighth Year student and budding journalist Gabriella Ainsley is promised her dream job at The Daily Prophet if she successfully completes an assignment - interview and get the scoop on the Malfoy Family.

    Who was Narcissa Malfoy's first love? How did Lucius and Narcissa meet? What was the REAL reason their precious son and fellow Eighth Year student Draco Malfoy worked for one of the darkest wizards of all time?

    The longer she spends on this project, the quicker she discovers there is more than meets the eye to the haughty, flaxen-haired family.

    She also begins to find her loyalties tested: between her boyfriend, Montague, and her growing attraction for the young Malfoy heir; and - more importantly - between publishing lies to keep her coveted job, or telling the truth.

    But what IS the truth about the Malfoys?

    Summary

    Aerion was momentarily speechless, his mouth clamped shut, caught between shock and the immediate need to mask it—Valarr would know. This Aerion’s very own brand of flustered pride. However, he didn’t seem seconds away from lashing out at Ser Duncan. Nor he stepped away.

    Valarr’s jaw ticked before he was aware of the motion.

    In which Valarr had always known about the arranged betrothal between him and Aerion.

    Summary

    Newly-crowned Valarr Targaryen is an alpha in bearing, if not in boast. Deft with the sword and quicker still with the quill. Soft-spoken in council yet iron-firm where it counts. However, a secret only the inner council is privy to reveals that, for reasons none dare name aloud, the King is incapable of taking an omega to mate.

    Aerion returns from exile not long after the coronation, gone once with empty hands, only to come back burdened with a bastard child. And Valarr, who has sired no heirs of his own nor ever shown inclination to, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the child all the same.
