    Summary

    Brienne and Jaime share a moment after their brush with death. Jaime learns much to dislike about Hyle Hunt (and ever more to like about Brienne).

    ~*~

    Brienne shrugged. “It was an honorable proposal. Honorable enough.”

    “Honorable enough? Who in the seven hells are the Hunts? I’ve suffered interminable speeches from Mace Tyrell on the lords and swords of the Reach. He somehow never mentioned them.” He snorted incredulously. “Is he even a landed knight? Or just some wandering social climber who tumbled out of a hedge?”

    “House Hunt are sworn bannermen to the Tarlys. From the Marches.”

    “Tell me you’re joking. You’re not really contemplating marriage with that jackanapes.”

    A part of her wanted to lie and say she was, if only so she could pretend it would bother him. But that was foolish. Pretending only made the truth worse when it came. “No. Not really.” She looked down and away, not wanting him to see her face.

    “He doesn’t love you, you know.” Jaime’s voice softened. “I know his kind. It’s Tarth he wants. Not you.”

    Summary

    Rhaenyra Targaryen has been disinherited - some will say she should have seen it coming, some will say that it is just the natural order of things restored. Yet it is insulting to be put aside in favour of an infant - and Rhaenyra does not intend to let it slide.

    If she cannot have her crown, she will ensure Otto Hightower's grandchild cannot either - she would rather see a usurper conquer Westeros than forget this slight. The plan is simple: help him take the capital and bargain for her freedom, without the pressure to marry or produce heirs for some arrogant lord.

    But what if her gamble takes an unexpected turn, and she still finds herself with a crown on her head - a consort, but a Queen nonetheless? And has she won or has she lost - can traitors ever win?

    Summary

    Brienne Tarth makes her debut in society, firmly convinced that no one will ever want to marry her. She is tall, not particularly pretty, and far more interested in education than in the attention of men. And unbeknownst to everyone, Brienne secretly practices fencing. But by some absurd twist of fate, her secret becomes known to one other person.

    Summary

    Being the last of Everstar, Brienne, a former soldier, fights monsoon and plague outbreaks back home in Tarth, while also being trapped in a loveless marriage to a decorated soldier, now Earl of Casterly Rock, Jaime Lannister.

    Inspired by one of my favourite classics, The Painted Veil by William Somerset Maugham (but without the Orientalism)
