Summary
Later, after it was all over, Rhaenyra found that she remembered very little about the day of her mother’s funeral. She couldn’t recall conversations, the names and faces of the strangers and near-strangers who came to pay their respects, or even what she had done or where she had gone once the pyre stopped burning. When she tried to close her eyes and conjure up the last moment she ever saw her mother, all that came to her were other images, other feelings: the way the cold wind whipped her tear-streaked face; the distance her father placed between himself and everyone around him; Daemon’s low voice in her ear; and, most vividly of all, the weight of Otto Hightower’s hand on her shoulder, grasping her quickly but firmly as he walked past her and back toward his children.
It was strange. He had never touched her before. He had never paid any real attention to her at all. She had seen his probing gaze directed at her father, at her uncle, at Alicent, but never at her. And yet that day he chose to acknowledge her, and she was so grateful to be acknowledged at all that she never thought to ask him why.

Summary
Rhaenyra is loosing her sanity. Her father has taken her best friend to wife, her uncle is still banished to Dragonstone, she is heir to the throne but not respected, and above all, she is lonely. When the King welcomes his son before the tourney, she flees. Daemon, having been summoned to King’s Landing to honour the new prince, chases after her. In her he sees the same darkness that plagues himself, the hate, the rage, the same pain. He knows what it’s like to never feel worthy enough, never be enough. He vows to be at her side so she may never feel that way again.. but what happens when Daemon can no longer tell the difference between desire and deceit? Is it out of love he stays or is it his thirst for the throne, or worse, his thirst for her? Deep in his blackened heart Daemon himself does not know. Only that if he is to have any of his desires they begin and end with her: the blood of his blood, and the flesh of his flesh.

Summary
Newt doesn't know what to expect when he arrives at Dumbledore’s office. He hopes Dumbledore won’t find him boring. Or annoying. Most people do. He can see on their faces that he either talks too fast or takes too long to find the words for his thoughts, and he can never manage to say things they care about anyway. But Dumbledore is patient. He listens when Newt talks. He’s not like other people.
The drowsiness creeps up on Newt gradually. It slows his tongue and makes his eyelids heavy, and eventually it has him blinking heavily and trailing off as he notices just how comfortable the sofa is. It’s big and plush, inviting him to curl up in front of the fire and doze blissfully. Suddenly that seems like a very good idea.

Summary
“Newton?” That voice… Newt would recognize that voice anywhere. So the face he saw when the wizard’s wand tip suddenly lit up with the lumos spell was both no surprise and complete surprise at the same time. It was a very strange feeling. Though it was nothing compared to the feeling like that of swooping evil rattling around in his stomach when he looked up to see a familiar warm smile and set of twinkling blue eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The care of magical creatures may have been Newt Scamander’s number one priority in life, but in a seaside Scottish village one summer, the young magizoologist discovers that there’s room in his life, and his heart, for more than he could have ever imagined.
