    Summary

    The soul in their arms did not so much speak as it did sing. Its voice rang clearer than ever before, rising like the wind rustling through leaves of the forest, like a gentle breeze across wide fields of sweet grass. It made its wish known plainly, its innermost thoughts laid bare.

    The gods smiled. 

    ‘We are agreed.’

    The Stranger departed, its services no longer needed for the time being.

    And soon after in the arena, a quiet miracle occurred. Magic shifted and — where moments before the man had lain prone and breathless — Ser Duncan the Tall gasped awake to the sound of Prince Aegon’s desperate pleas and to the sight of a trial yet unfinished, his eyes alight with new life and glowing a color as blue and pure as the sky.  

    ***

    What if Dunk had died during his trial of Seven?

    What if he had lived?

    In which, having the gods' favor may have changed the course of history for the lands of ice and fire. But nothing in life ever comes cleanly.

    Summary

    Waking up after the events of the trial, Ser Duncan the Tall is more confused than ever. Prince Baelor is completely uninjured and nobody seems to remember what has happened but him.

    Nor does it explain the reaction upon the discovery of Dunk wounded within Ashford castle, mistaken for a mistreated servant of the household. The dragon princes of the realm do not seem to appreciate such treatment and immediately take Dunk under their wing, much to the hedge knight’s bewilderment.

    Summary

    Dunk from Flea Bottom had always known he was a monster. The scales that appeared on his skin under the scorching sun were a curse he carefully hid.

    Now he is hunted by the eyes of lords dreaming of claiming a living monster, and the greedy whispers of those who seek to use his nature. But only Egg—the bald boy who stubbornly calls him ser—looks at Dunk differently. To him, he is not a fire-breathing beast, nor a relic of ancient blood. To him, he is simply a knight. The tallest and the most noble.

    Summary

    “I speak truth, my Lord. I mean to enter the lists.”

    “Yes, and every urchin from Flea Bottom wanting to make a name for himself wishes to enter the lists, boy. Do you have someone who will vouch for you?”

    Seven hells, not this again.

    In which, three years after the events at Ashford Meadow, all Dunk wants is to enlist in the tournament at King's Landing. He runs into trouble entering his name in the lists. Again. Before he knows what's happening he's accused of fraud and brought before the King on the Iron Throne. Now he must plead with a king he’s never met and doesn't know.

    Or does he?

    Summary

    Baelor Breakspear died beneath a summer sky, struck down in a tourney meant to celebrate peace. The songs called it noble, the histories made it simple. He had expected darkness, but instead he woke to dragons, to salt and smoke, and to a past that should have already turned to ash.

    On Driftmark, he found Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen not as a distant legend, but as a woman standing at the edge of her fate. He knew how her story would end and what it would cost her, yet his presence began to change the course of it in ways he could not fully control. The closer he drew to her, the more uncertain everything became, including the life he once belonged to.

    If he rewrote her fate, what would remain of his own? Would the future that held his family simply disappear, or had it already begun to fade the moment he arrived? Was he meant to save her, or was he only delaying something that could not be undone?
