Daemon becomes the sworn shield to Princess Arianne Martell, traveling with her and her companions to the Stormlands to meet with Lord Jon Connington and the alleged Prince Aegon Targaryen. On the way to Ghost Hill, Daemon informs Arianne what he knows of Jon Connington. At Ghost Hill, Arianne attempts to seduce Daemon, but he rejects her, as Doran had considered his bastard status unworthy of her hand. Instead, they talk of whether Aegon could be who he claims to be, an idea that Daemon rejects. From Ghost Hill, Arianne and her companions sail across the Sea of Dorne to Cape Wrath. Aboard the Peregrine, Daemon defeats Arianne in a game of cyvasse, and mocks her strategy.
