    Summary

    On the night of Viserys's death, ten Targaryens share a prophetic dream of a new path for their family. This dream leads Rhaenyra and her family down a new path to reclaim a fallen empire and uncover the lost history of the past two hundred years. Rhaenyra, her family and her allies pursue this dream, led by the promise to see the rise of a new dynasty of Targaryens even greater than the one forged by Aegon the Conqueror. But as the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward, meaning the Targaryens must pioneer and conquer the most dangerous place in the known world in hopes of forging their new dynasty.

    Summary

    Aegon had loved the idea of having a soulmate, until reality came crashing down on his head. His sister wouldn't wait for her ascension to the throne to kill him, not once she knew, and Aegon wasn't so sure he wouldn't welcome the execution rather than deal with his own mother.

    Jacaerys. Of course it was Jacaerys. The gods must truly want him to suffer.

    Summary

    "I shall find a ship and I shall sail away, never to be seen or heard from again!"

    Aemond freezes as those words leave his brother's lips, the desperation in the elders eyes and voice pierce straight through his body as he contemplates what has just been said. The weight of Aegon's hands on his cheeks become heavier with each passing second. Aemond almost considers it.

    And then he feels something, a sharp blooming pain burning in his right side as he falls to the ground.

    "Aegon! You- did you just fucking stab me?!"

     

    Aegon manages to get away from Aemond and Criston when they come looking for him after Viserys' death. He does not want to be king, about that, he is absolutely certain. But a Prince of the realm can only run so far before he is recognised and dragged kicking and screaming back to his mother and grandfather. So where is safe?

    Well, behind enemy lines of course. Inside the fortress of Dragonstone. With the Blacks.

    Right beside his older half-sister and her guard dog of a husband who would probably have his head on a spike the second he saw him.

    Gods help him.

    Summary

    “They have sold her, a noble Lady of the seven kingdoms, to a whorehouse in Lys.” Lord Swann raged. “I am told her maidenhead alone went for 500 golden dragons. I lay this crime at your feet.” So saying, and recorded incredulously in every surviving account, Lord Swann spat at the foot of the Iron Throne.

    Lord Hightower called for the guards to remove the man. They had to drag Lord Swann out as he yelled his vitriol at the King. His words as he was removed would haunt the rest of King Viserys’s reign. “You have damned her with your inaction. You have abandoned your duty as protector of the realm! You are no King! You are a puppet that does nothing!”

    To this day Viserys I is known as King Viserys, the Do-Nothing King.
