A rose amongst thorns
I am currently writing my very first House of the Dragon fanfiction, and I wanted to share the description for the story! ❤️🐉🌹
Before the Dance of the Dragons, there was still laughter.
Princess Viserra Targaryen, cherished daughter of Queen Alicent Hightower, grows up within the halls of the Red Keep surrounded by family, dragons, and the fading innocence of childhood. Gentle-hearted and endlessly kind, she becomes a bright light in a court already beginning to fracture beneath whispers of succession and simmering rivalries.
But Viserra's story began with a secret.
On the same night that Queen Alicent gave birth to Prince Daeron Targaryen, Princess Rhaenyra gave birth to her first son, Jacaerys Velaryon. Yet tragedy struck when Alicent's newborn daughter was stillborn.
Grief-stricken and terrified, Alicent made an unthinkable choice.
In the darkness of that night, the dead child was exchanged for Rhaenyra's living daughter.
The realm would know her as Princess Viserra Targaryen, daughter of Queen Alicent and King Viserys.
Only a handful of souls know the truth.
And Viserra herself remains completely unaware.
Raised as a Green princess, she loves fiercely and without condition, refusing to see the divisions that others place between her family. To her, Aegon, Aemond, Daeron, Helaena, Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey are simply family.
Yet as the years pass, those around her begin to change.
Affection deepens into devotion.
Devotion becomes possessiveness.
And the people she loves most become increasingly unwilling to lose her.
As dragons grow and old loyalties begin to splinter, Viserra unknowingly stands at the center of a dangerous secret—one that could alter the fate of House Targaryen itself.
For what will happen when the truth of her birth is finally revealed?
Will blood prove stronger than love?
Or will love become something far more terrifying?
In a realm destined for fire and blood, one gentle princess may become the heart of the coming storm.
Some will fight for the Iron Throne.
Others will burn kingdoms to keep her.
please tell me your thoughts!!
