The Fire of Ambition
Corwin Celtigar, heir to House Celtigar, is a cunning man with 21st-century knowledge of economics and trade. His ambition is to transform Claw Isle into the most powerful trading center in Westeros. After a journey to Valyria, he returns with Valyrian artifacts and treasures, which earns him the favor of Gael Targaryen, daughter of Jaehaerys I. Although not in love with him, Gael sees the potential in Corwin and his vision of power, leading to a strategic alliance.
Using his wisdom to transform Claw Isle into a thriving trading port, Corwin challenges the balance of power in Westeros. As his influence grows, the Celtigars become a threat to other houses, including House Targaryen, who warily watch the rise of this new power.
