A Song of Ice and Fire (AU) Fanfic - Where Ambition Burns, and Love Dares the Flames (*PAUSED*) ——— Prince Maekar Targaryen, the second son of King Aerys II Targaryen, wears no crown of duty, nor does he chase the elusive threads of prophecy like his elder brother, Rhaegar. Where Rhaegar whispers of ancient songs and prophetic flames, Maekar’s heart beats to the tempo of conquest and rule. The court calls him the “Daring Dragon,” and rightly so, for his courage is edged with an ambition as lethal as Valyrian steel. He stands as a Dragon among lesser animals, sharpening his claws on the bones of rivals and foes alike, while the Seven Kingdoms stir restlessly, whispering rebellion. Maekar's path to the Iron Throne will not be one of grace or honor, but of ruthless calculation, a deadly dance through webs of deceit woven by lords and ladies alike. Every council chamber hides a dagger in the dark, and Maekar steps lightly, knowing his enemies are legion,— and his allies fewer than he might wish. But there is one soul who will test his resolve, a beauty cloaked in Dornish silk and deadly mystery,— Ashara Dayne of Starfall. She is neither meek nor malleable, and in her violet gaze lies both a promise and a peril. With Ashara, he finds a game of power and desire unlike any he has known, a game where even dragons may bleed. For in her arms, he is vulnerable, yet never more certain of his own power. In a world where betrayal glints sharper than any blade, Maekar Targaryen will risk all to carve his legacy into the Iron Throne, defying gods, men, and fate itself. But as his foes gather like storm clouds upon Blackwater Bay, one question remains: can even the Daring Dragon endure the fire that will forge,— or break,— him? ——— No rights to 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' belong to me.
