Who Are The 'Silent Sisters' In 'A Song Of Ice And Fire'?

The Scions rule the world now. Born of celestial light, they turned on their creators and claimed the earth for themselves. But their victory came at a cost—every daughter of their kind has withered into dust, and extinction looms. So they hunt human women to survive. Anwen has always been fragile. Sickly. Ordinary. She was meant to be hidden away in a sanctuary, safe from the monsters who would claim her. Instead, she’s taken by three of the most feared shifters alive. A Dragon, cold and untouchable. A Lycan, lethal and always too close. A Minotaur, silent and watching—like she’s a puzzle he intends to solve. They expect her to die like the others. Another delicate human who won’t survive the bond. But Anwen doesn’t break. She burns. And the longer she remains in their fortress, the more their control begins to unravel. Their magic bends toward her. Their instincts sharpen. Their possessiveness turns feral. Others want her. Their High King demands her. But these three won’t give her up. Because the fragile human they stole? She might be the most dangerous creature in their world. And they’re done pretending she isn’t theirs.

Born mute and scorned by her family for being human, she was hidden away in the far reaches of the kingdom as an embarrassment her family wished forgotten…. But when her beautiful half-sister Dahlia vanishes on the eve of her wedding to the Lycan Prince, Annalise is dragged to the altar, veiled in her sister’s place…. Because to cancel the wedding would spark war. To anger the lycans would mean blood. Now bound to the ruthless and merciless Lycan Prince, she is torn between the beast she must call her husband and the Alpha’s son who watches her with forbidden intensity, Annalise now finds herself caught in a dangerous game of blood, desire, and survival.

She is the last spark of a dying flame. He is the shadow waiting to catch it. Princess Saoirse of Aethelgard is dead—or so the Empire believes. When her kingdom falls to Oakhaven’s iron machines, the last Dragon Princess disguises herself as a lowly servant to protect the world's remaining magic. Her goal is simple: infiltrate the enemy capital, rescue her captured cousin, and end the royal bloodline. Prince Tristan is the Empire’s greatest disappointment. To the court, he is a drunken fool; in the shadows, he is the Viper, a lethal strategist plotting his father’s downfall. When he discovers a "mute" maid with eyes full of murder amidst the ruins, he doesn't expose her. He claims her. Trapped in the dangerous intimacy of the Prince’s chambers, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins. Tristan knows she is a liar; Saoirse sees the sharp mind behind his lazy smile. As their hatred shifts into a scorching, forbidden attraction, they realize they share a common enemy. But with the Emperor hunting the true Dragon, revealing their secrets could destroy them both. The Dragon is hiding. The Viper is hunting. Together, they will burn the world.

Her voice enchants them, and her touch, it steals the very life out of them. Thea's only option is to take a vow of silence so the kills stop and her bloody hands have a chance to wash clean.Things can't be so easy for her. Innocent children are taken and their lives threatened by the very people that tortured herself and her sisters.Thea's only recourse is to embrace the darkness inside and unleash her vengeance.After all, a siren's song isn't her only weapon.

Ayla hasn’t spoken since the night her world burned. She was five when she lost everything—her family, her pack, and whatever part of her knew how to be heard. Taken in by a rival Alpha, she grows up in a place that keeps her alive… but never lets her belong. Most of the pack ignores her. The Alpha’s sons don’t. The triplets made sure she understood exactly what she was worth—nothing. Years of silence taught her how to endure them, how to disappear, react. It was easier that way. Until her eighteenth birthday. Her wolf awakens. And with it, the mate bond. Not one. Not two. All of them. The same three wolves who made her life unbearable. Now everything is different. They look at her like she matters. Like she’s something they need to protect, to keep, to make up for. Ayla doesn’t know what to do with that. She doesn’t want their guilt. She doesn’t trust whatever this bond is trying to turn into. And she definitely doesn’t want them close enough to break her all over again. But something else is shifting—something deeper than the bond. There’s a power inside her that shouldn’t exist. Something that was there long before her wolf ever awakened. And she’s not the only one who’s starting to notice. Whatever is coming for her… it isn’t afraid of Alphas. And if Ayla wants any chance of surviving it, she’ll have to face the one thing she’s avoided for thirteen years. She’ll have to use her voice. Even if it means accepting the very people she swore she’d never trust. Because if she doesn’t—this time, she won’t be the only one who loses everything.

Gair, the third-born son of the Laird to the largest clan on the border, is one of three identical triplets. He is quite content with the fun and freedom of a third-born son. He enjoyed spending his days training with the men and his nights laying with willing lasses. Leaving his brothers to squabble over how to run the clan and worry about providing heirs suited him fine. Unfortunately, the king has other ideas. To keep peace in the highlands and unite the borderlands the king feels all three men must have a clan of their own. Since he believes all three are unwed, he chooses brides for them which will result in each having a clan to rule and a wife to create heirs with. He wed Gai to a beautiful woman. The problem? The woman had married his brother two years earlier! With a coin toss, the brothers swap identities, switching wives and clans. Will anyone notice? Will Gair regret leaving his home and the beautiful woman the king had gifted him to head off into the unknown, to run a clan he's never visited and marry a woman he's never met? Isobel is an outcast in her own clan. She refuses to dress or act like a lady. Instead, she has found a way to become nearly invisible, and to help and who are being abused to escape to new lives. She had thought herself safe from the dangers of marriage. It hadn't occurred to her that the king would see it done. Can she trust this stranger with her secrets? Can he help her heal from the past? Most importantly, can she help him save their clan from being taken over by a band of rogue mercenaries?
