Being the twin sister of Alicent Hightower and the disappointing daughter of Otto Hightower has never been easy for Henley. She has always been the adventurous, out-spoken twin, which has never worked in her favor...

There's only two people that made growing up in the Kingdom tolerable, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen.

Alicent, Henley, and Rhaenyra have been best friends ever since they were little kids, but for some reason Rhaenyra and Henley were always just a little closer...

Daemon always saw something in Henley no one else saw. He knew she was mesmerizing, special, unique. There was just something about her that he could never tear his eyes away from. She was his rose, his beautiful tainted rose in the miserable kingdom garden.

Rhaenyra and Henley filled the Kings council cups together, in hopes that one day each of them would take their fathers places: Rhaenyra on the throne and Henley as her Hand. But everything changed when Alicent betrayed their friendship and married King Viserys, a role Henley firmly stood her ground on to say no to.

And suddenly Henley Hightower wasn't that wild, loud mouth little anymore girl, she was a strong-willed young woman. Backs are turned, lines are drawn, and Henley feels like she has no one to turn to, until the man who has always listened and understood her comes prepared with an offer that, mixed with scarletted persuasion, she cannot deny.

Thus the Hightower name mixed with the Targaryen blood is born.
