Leave Me Behind

cherieacher
I woke up in a cold, dark prison cell with no memory of who I am. Though everything changes when a powerful man, named Vesperian Dragomir appears, claiming to be my husband and the king of the land and I, his beloved queen. Being part of the family of dragonriders, he claims his love for me runs so deep, it feels as if he would burn his kingdom to the ground just to keep me by his side. As I slowly begin to unravel the threads of my past, I can't seem to shake the feeling that he's somehow responsible for my imprisonment. With dragons circling the skies and our enemies closing in, I'm forced to confront my fractured memories, the dangerous connection between us and the dark truths I'm not sure I want to uncover. Through a web of betrayal, passion and power, I have to decide if the truth is worth the cost, or if giving into Vesperian's love will be my ultimate undoing.

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
