    Summary

    "I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned." - Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment

    Rhaella thinks perhaps the gods, any gods, have heard her prayers, when Aerys vomits up blood in bed. (Aerys dies before the 'trial' of Rickard and Brandon Stark can commence. In King's Landing, Rhaella at last finds her footing. On Dragonstone, Elia makes her preparations. And in the Tower of Joy, Lyanna comes to a series of cold realizations).

    Summary

    It is the Summer of 172 AC in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. King Aegon IV sits the Iron Throne as tensions begin to rise between him and his heir, Daeron Targaryen, and the wounds of the Dornish war are still fresh. In the midst of these tensions, Lady Myranda Mallery, newly a woman grown, prepares to be forced to attend a tourney at King’s Landing with her younger sister Gwenys and younger brother Olyvar, lord of her house. While Myranda’s stepmother hopes this will be a chance for Myranda and Gwenys to meet their potential husbands, only Gwenys is pleased about the idea. Myranda and her siblings soon find themselves embroiled in the maelstrom that is romance, politics, and desire at the royal court. Please enjoy this attempt to meld the plot style of Jane Austen into the world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.

    Summary

    Naerya Targaryen's life has been an endless game of tug-of-war between both sides of her family after the untimely, suspicious death of her mother, Rhea Royce. Coupled by the bizarre, distressing dreams that have plagued her for as long as she could remember, she is left unsure of who she truly is or what her life should be about.

    Aemond Targaryen's life has been an endless parade of neglect and disappointment, a mere second son without a dragon. Ignored by his father and tormented by his brother and nephews, he begins to wonder if there is any true meaning to his existence, for what good is a dragon with no wings?

    The meeting of these two lost souls would forever alter the course of history and the fate of House Targaryen, for theirs is a tale of Fire and Bronze.

    Summary

    What was supposed to be a chance at a new life for Ria slowly turns into one of her worst nightmares. Trapped in a dilapidated fort with a group of mercenaries, only her brother Rith is left to stand by her side. But the group's dubious patron has his own sinister plans, and they involve Ria.

    “Who are you?” she breathed, the words lazy on her tongue, as if shy to come out.
    Another low chuckled, followed by a deeply drawn in breath. He stood directly behind her, too close for her to feel comfortable, too close for her liking. The warmth from his body should have met her, however there was nothing. Only the crackle and lingering heat of the fire burning in the hearth.
    “The patron,” he spoke, his voice now stronger and louder. Ria wondered once more, how Rith and Darius were able to sleep through this. “The master, they call me,” he added, now a sense of drama dripping from his voice. “But for you, Riana,” he paused while one of his slender fingers stroked an auburn strand of hair from her shoulder, “I am a giver of gifts.”

    Summary

    The Dragonborn asked for a truce. Ulfric Stormcloak asked for her hand in return. Neither of them knew what they were getting into.

    A whole lot of politics, drama, and a backstory involving the Great War and the Aldmeri Dominion, that's what.

    Chapter 35: Delphine finally addresses the Paarthurnax issue, Cecilia hears some truths from Emilin, and Junius Varo plans to win this war no matter what. Cecilia and Ulfric have a heart-to-heart and then something more.
