Baelor Hightower has always worn his name like armour—and his smile like a challenge.
Rejected by Elia Martell and humiliated by her brother's cruel wit, the heir to Oldtown is sent across the Seven Kingdoms to find a bride worthy of the Hightower name. What he finds instead is war, alliances, and a woman who sees past the bright smile to the steel beneath.
From the tourney at Gulltown to the darkness of the Long Night, Baelor must prove himself worthy of his house's ancestral blade, his father's trust, and a love that will outlast empires.
The realm will see him yet.
