Summary
In the tenth year of the reign of King Viserys I, a strange malady befell both his queen and his daughter. Queen Aemma Arryn was the first to sicken, seized by a fever so violent that her ladies feared she would be lost before dawn. Before a day had passed the princess was stricken by the very same heat.
For three days and three nights the court was cloaked in terror. The king kept vigil beside his wife and child in turn, unwilling to leave either chamber for long, while the maesters whispered of humors and contagion but found no sure cure. Prayers were spoken at every hour, and more than one lord muttered that House Targaryen’s line stood on the edge of ruin.
Yet as suddenly as it had come upon them, the fever broke. On the morning of the fourth day, Queen Aemma called for water, and not long after Princess Rhaenyra asked for food. Both rose from their beds as if nothing at all had passed between life and death, pale but unharmed, as though the sickness had been no more than a shadow fleeting across their shared blood.

Summary
In 130 AC, Rhaenyra Targaryen died a traitor’s death—devoured by her brother’s dragon, abandoned by lords, and betrayed by blood.
However, instead of entering the afterlife to enjoy eternal rest, the Fourteen play one more sick trick and place Rhaenyra not only in a body that she does not recall but also a timeline she knows is not her own.
Determined to win the game that once destroyed her, Rhaenyra sets out to secure her throne. However, she quickly realizes that the Viserys and Alicent variants in this world are nothing like she remembers, and Daemon is even more dangerous. But it’s Laena—clever, commanding, still very much alive—who offers Rhaenyra something far rarer than loyalty: a shared ambition.
This time, Rhaenyra won’t just survive.
This time, there is no such thing as mercy, no matter whose body she must step over.

Summary
She is to be Queen, first of her name, the first of all Westeros.
This child, however, is half tower and half dragon—and if his mother’s plans prove successful, he will grow to be more the former than anything else. And yet, he is being celebrated as if a new age is to be brought by his growth. Her father has yet to change the succession, she still remains heir, but she knows many, many lords would prefer a child barely out of infancy over a girl of sixteen namedays and almost ten of lessons on how to rule and present herself to court.
.

She has a duty to her House: to see it brought to greatness once more. No green shall thrive for as long as she breathes.
She is a dragon, and dragons don't bow to sheep. -

Summary
“Princess, there's been an accident.”
Rhaenyra Targaryen has lived her whole life in the shadow of her mother’s death and her father’s disappointment. When King Viserys falls during a royal hunt, the crown passes to her—a girl of fifteen, unwed, untested, and utterly alone.
Having been seated on the Iron Throne sooner than expected, Rhaenyra must now learn to wield power in a court that would rather control—or destroy—her. Allies are few, enemies are everywhere, and every smile hides a blade.
But amid dragons and deceit, she finds two unexpected lights: Laena Velaryon, who understands the fire that burns within her, and Harwin Strong, whose loyalty may cost him everything.
In a realm ruled by men, Rhaenyra must decide what kind of queen she will be—and what pieces of her heart she’s willing to sacrifice for the crown.

Summary
Of all the crimes of Daemon Targaryen, the one spectre of guilt that did not come back to haunt him was that of his first wife, Rhea Royce. Not because she survived after falling from her horse, but because Daemon had no guilt over causing to death. Not an ounce of remorse. Not a second spent in mourning, recalling her name.
If they had a child, it would never allow him a second of peace. It would become the ghost Rhea Royce deserved.

Summary
How dare Criston –
How dare Alicent –
And even her own father –She’d been letting the Hightowers choose their battlefields for years now, since she was naught but a heartbroken girl of eight who had lost her mother and brother in a single day. She had been letting them make their moves without challenge, but no longer.
Alicent had worn a banner of War, and Criston had chosen his side.One should never poke a passive dragon, no matter how docile or pretty it appeared, lest they be faced with fire and blood.
(Or; Rhaenyra and her sad, gay husband Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss their way to getting what they want)
