    Summary

    The Dance of the Dragons was a term used to describe the three years between the reign of Viserys I and Rhaenyra I, after Viserys the butcher killed his first wife, the princess married Prince Daemon, the king’s younger brother and lord paramount of the narrow seas, after she found the king with her former handmaiden, Alicent Hightower.

    However Otto Hightower should have known that he was not the only one who could send a daughter to ensnare the king, for Cassandra was even more charming than his daughter.

    When Alicent and Cassandra both have sons born on the same day, the realm holds its breath. Their sons Aemond the Terrible and Aenar the fool set the realm on fire trying to wear their father’s crown.

    In the end, the black queen wins the throne that two families kill each other for. Queen Rhaenyra rises from the ashes of House Hightower and House Baratheon

    Summary

    Sent south as a royal ward, Lyanna Stark is meant to be shaped by the court. Instead, she is protected by a queen, valued by a king, and claimed as family by dragons. As ambition turns lethal and the North calls her home, Lyanna learns that choice is its own kind of power.

    She is not taken.
    She is chosen.

    Summary

    History remembers Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen. History remembers all the steps and all the years of their ungainly dance. History remembers how, in the end, their blood always warmed the Iron Throne and heralded in the Song of Ice and Fire. It is known.

    It is not known, however, what would have happened if their dance had no missteps, if their union had come through earlier, and if their hatchlings took flight near the same time as the Greens. It is not known, either, what would have happened if all of their children were not simply children, but blood-of-their-blood from the future, from the far past, and even from a world gone by. There might still be a Dance, though probably not the same Dance. And in the end, those fit to remain shall remain, and those who are unneeded shall not be kept.

    Mostly Bookverse. Crack Treated Seriously.

    A British diplomat wakes up in Westeros.

     
    '“You are Aenys Storm, my lord,” he said, speaking slowly. “The bastard son of King Aegon Targaryen, Fourth of His Name.”

    Predictably, I blacked out again.'
