Crimson Lies by Ciur

Cyra_Ciur
A prince who wants to disappear. An assassin who doesn't know she's working for him. A masquerade that hides more than just faces. The invitation arrives without a sender. Four names. No instructions. Just a time, a place, and the unshakable feeling that once they step in, there's no way out. Red has spent years perfecting the art of staying in the shadows—efficient, untraceable, and always in control. Until one reckless decision forces her into a game she didn't sign up for. The target? A missing prince. The catch? He's the one who hired her. Dalia never wanted to get involved. But when she receives an invitation wrapped in secrecy, she realizes she's already part of something much bigger. The past she buried is clawing its way back, and the people she trusted might be the ones pulling the strings. With hidden agendas, shifting alliances, and a deadly masquerade looming, nothing is as it seems. And when the masks come off, survival won't be about strength—it'll be about knowing who to trust before it's too late. The game has begun. And not everyone will make it out alive.

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.
