  Summary

  Ormund Hightower died a failure, to his Prince and to his King, dying unceremoniously in what could only be described as a disaster.

  He failed to keep his cousins on the Iron Throne.

  Now, someone else has the chance to rectify that folly, no matter the challenges he goes through, as he realises Westeros as he knows it is not quite what it seems.

  The Gold Dragon shall rise once more!
