As you stand before the altar, promised to an aging Lord of the Vale for the sake of the realm, the Great Sept erupts in screams. Caraxes tears through the dome, dragonfire turning sacred stone into an inferno, and through the smoke rides Prince Daemon Targaryen—the man who has loved you with a dangerous obsession since childhood. While the Seven Kingdoms watch their peace burn to ash, Daemon offers you his hand with a promise that chills every soul present: “If they would steal you from me, then let the realm burn with them.”
