Summary
His death will be the same. He has died a thousand deaths, and will die a thousand more. Such is the very fragility of men, the folly and transience of morality. A dull, unforgiving inertia. The very nature of his curse, his existence. He will experience a darkness, a time in an intangible void beyond the reaches of his sight. Only a deep sense of terror, and a voracious hunger.
And then he will awaken anew in the forest once more, grass soft as always beneath his body, sun bright above his head.

Summary
After the tragic death of Lyonel Strong in a fire at Harrenhal, King Viserys resolves to once again name Otto Hightower as the Hand of the King. That night, Viserys dreams of the dire future awaiting his family and the realm. The future he himself has inadvertently brought about.
Viserys decides to do everything he can to prevent that future and ensure that his daughter will one day ascend the throne unopposed.
Rhaenyra is not sure if she believes in the veracity of her father’s dream but, on the back foot against Alicent at court, the king’s newfound support is welcomed.
However, as Viserys’s obsession with clearing a path for Rhaenyra’s queenship grows, is it too late for Rhaenyra to reconcile with Alicent and mend the divide between their two families?
