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
"Perhaps I should have been a girl."
Gwayne laughed and clapped Alyn on the shoulder hard enough to hurt.
"I thought you were the smart brother." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "Were you a girl, Father would have used you as a bargaining chip. You would’ve been married off to some high lord, or a knight, or..." He snorted. “Perhaps even the king.”
Alyn thought of King Viserys, his bent posture, his thin, sparse white hair and his sickly complexion. He shivered.
...
Alicent Hightower is a boy. Surprisingly, it solves nothing.-

Summary
Post-War Britain, 1951. After a curious car accident in a remote area of the English countryside, a young, disaffected Rhaenyra Targaryen, finds herself stumbling towards an isolated, nearby estate for aid. What she finds inside the palatial residence is more than she bargained for: a handsome businessman, Criston Cole, lies dead on the drawing room floor, his beautiful young wife, Alicent Hightower, posed over him, gun in hand. The evidence seems clear, but Alicent’s confession is far from convincing, and there is something about the younger woman that Rhaenyra finds impossible to ignore. As she convalesces in this scene of recent murder, Rhaenyra must decide the lengths she is willing to go to in the pursuit of justice and attraction. Is Criston’s untimely, violent death all that it seems? Can Rhaenyra trust in her own fraying faculties in the face of manipulation and desire?
Rhaenicent, above all. Murder as an aside.

Summary
"The Queen ordered me, I fear I have no choice"
The Prince hummed.
"And you are obedient, I see"
His dark eyes were setting aflame her blood. She could feel the warmth, the burn, travelling through her body.
"Is that a bad thing, My Prince?" she dared speak, voice raspy.
"Not at all, Lady Alicent"
That was the last thing he said before disappearing inside the Queen's apartments. Then, she heard more laughter.
