Prologue

Gabrielle Delacour thought that travelling going on a trip with her sister's family to Egypt might be fun. Instead she ends up in a cursed tomb, gets killed by nasty-looking monsters, and wakes up... In Essos, in another world. A world where her eyes are purple, where dragonlords once ruled, where the poor and the enslaved lead lives of brutality and those born lucky live opulent lives of luxury... And a mad king on an Iron Throne across the Narrow Sea.
Her solution: simple, stay out of trouble, move out of Lys, find a way to free her slaves, keep safe and increase her business. But her looks, wealth and ancestry lead her straight into a nest of trouble when the Mad King's Cousin comes asking for her hand for the Dragon Prince.
