Summary
House Targaryen were the Last Dragonlords of Old Valyria, But there were determined not to let the Glory of their Ancient homeland perish and so with their allies sought to build a better and glorious future in Westeros. With ambitions to match the legendary Bran the Builder, Cunning to outsmart Lann the Clever and prosperity to put the Garth Green hand to shame, House Targaryen would begin a decades long effort to build for each generation a greater legacy.
An alternate history of Westeros with a much more ambitious and reformist House Targaryen, one which builds a much more intricate system for governing the Realm and is not content with having enough, one which did not stop breaking the status quo by forging the Iron Throne. Starting from before the Reign of Aegon the Conqueror.

Summary
To say war is all-consuming would be an understatement. It grinds your bones, tears you to pieces, leaves you with scars that run far deeper than the ones you inevitably end up sporting on your body. Often times one comes back, nothing but a shadow of the person they once were.
Daemon knew that, of course. It wasn’t his first time running to battle - nor would it be the last, if his instincts were to be trusted. And yet, he couldn’t have anticipated just how deeply this battle would mark him for the rest of his days.

At the end of the long and bitter Stepstone Wars, a grand Tourney is held at the ancient castle of Ashmark on the border of the Riverlands and The Reach to celebrate the Seven Kingdoms victory. To mark the occasion Otto Hightower, Hand of the King, sends Queen Alicent, Ser Criston Cole, Princess Helaena, and Prince Aemond Targaryen, to attend the festivities and represent the Crown in the tournament.
However, on the leaf strewn autumn road, they become hopelessly lost till they're encountered by a young and mysterious Hedge Knight newly returned from the Stepstone Wars who leads them to the castle. There, the four find themselves suddenly caught up in old rivalries, plots of revenge, Reunions, and their own longings of forbidden courtly romance among the falling colored leaves and crisp chill of the Autumn Harvest Festival.

Summary
Visenya Targaryen, second born daughter of Viserys Targaryen and Aemma Arryn.
Only one year younger than her sister, Rhaenyra, the princess was said to be only close enough with her father growing up, even though he enjoyed sharing his stories and reading to his daughters. As for her mother, princess Visenya could always be found by her mother’s side throughout her failed pregnancies. It was written that the princess spent so much time with her mother that she became acquaintance with the act of birth.
Princess Visenya was the rider of Balexion, who she shared a cradle with, having been chosen by no other than her uncle Daemon Targaryen - it was said that the egg was found still in Old Valyria and never gave any signs of hatching.
While her sister was called “the Realms Delight”, the common folk seemed to have decided on calling Visenya “The Dragon Wrath” duo to the boiling blood that ran through her veins and temper that could burn a hole through anyone’s soul. This however didn’t mean that the Princess wasn’t loved - she was the Realm’s Delight in her own way. She cared about all the people equally yet she didn’t allow anyone to put her down.
