    Summary

    Alys Brightflame — granddaughter of Aerion, unacknowledged daughter of King Aerys II — sails for Dragonstone, following her mother’s maps and the promise that some fires sleep, not die. Beneath its bones she finds a dragon’s egg that has not yet stirred.

    In King’s Landing, her father keeps her for sport while his heir listens too late. When the city falls, a ring of fire in the Kingswood turns rumour into a name.

    She walks south to Summerhall for answers and west to Ashford with a sleeping egg, a growing legend, and a knight who cannot look away.
