Summary
Alicent knew what her father wanted, and knew what could happen if she went directly against his wishes. However, she could never betray her friend in such a way and continued to push the king and Rhaenyra to reconcile after the tragic death of Queen Aemma. However, her father is not the only one who sees Alicent as a pawn to be used within House Targaryen.
Wishing to reconcile with his brother and have him back for his wedding to the very young Laena Velaryon, King Viserys orders his brother back to King’s Landing with the promise of the one thing Daemon wanted more than the throne: an annulment from his wife Rhea Royce. However, upon his return, Daemon learns that his brother has another bride already lined up for him: Lady Alicent Hightower.
The tentative strings of a song have been plucked and a dance is about to begin. The color of some of the players may have changed, but the song must be played for destiny is a terrible thing and dreams are not always as they seem.- Language:

Summary
Brandon was held prisoner throughout Robert’s Rebellion and became Lord of Winterfell after the war. At Robert's urging, Ned stayed in King's Landing and joined the Kingsguard. But he hadn't imagined Robert would be such a poor king, nor had he predicted how badly his oaths would chafe.
Certainly, he never expected he'd begin to sympathize with the Kingslayer.

Summary
"Father, Uncle Ned says that the King will be here soon." Jon Snow stood in the doorway, already washed and dressed for the royal arrival. Even the pup's fur was fluffed. The white fur showed dirt more than his siblings, so the Lady of Winterfell had reminded them to make sure it was clean. As a sigil of their house, the direwolf pups couldn't run around covered in mud like common dogs.
Jon Snow stood there, nearly identical to Benjen and a man grown, 17 on his next name day. The expression on his face was that of the disapproving parent rather than the son. It was like this more and more as Jon grew up, convinced of his own wisdom, and of his father's enduring foolishness.
"I'm getting up," he said, blowing out an irritated breath as he threw the furs off, gently shoving Ghost off of his pillows.

Summary
“So, did you invite Tommas on patrols with you, the times I sent him to replace me?”
Davos froze mid bite. Aeron was watching him, and the look on his face was composed, resigned—as if he were ready for Davos to confess all the sins that had been weighing heavy between them. Davos felt much in the presence of a very venomous snake, and tried desperately to avoid treading too close to it.
“Only a fool would patrol with the enemy,” said Davos.
A young Bracken squire goes missing in the Whispering Woods, and Davos Blackwood is accused of the crime. To clear the Blackwood name, he must go on a quest with ser Aeron Bracken to find the boy, deep in the darkest part of the forest.
Unbeknownst to their families, this is not their first patrol together. Unbeknownst to them, something lurks between the shadows of the trees, and if they are not careful, it may be their last.
