  Summary

  Joffrey Baratheon is a hot-headed, arrogant, cruel prince, believing Westeros his birthright by blood and conquest.
  His father: the conqueror who toppled the dragons. His mother: the daughter of the richest lord in the world. The gods could not have crafted a more suitable king.

  That was what he had believed, at least, until the truth crashed into him like a mighty wave and rent his life asunder.
  This story explores a different Joffrey, one where he knows the truth. No longer is he Joffrey Baratheon, heir to the Iron Throne; now, he is Joffrey Waters, a bastard born of incest desperate to survive.
  And, just maybe, he can learn to be something better while he is at it.
