    Summary

    The Iron Throne is no more. Westeros has splintered into seven uneasy kingdoms, each clinging to old power or chasing new dreams. As a fragile peace frays, three young leaders rise from the ruins:

    Kaelen Snow, bastard of the North and son of secrets, who carries the blood of fire and wolf.

    Nyra Velaryon, the last dragonrider, determined to forge a future beyond her namesake’s shadow.

    Corwyn Tyrell, an exiled heir with a sword in one hand and a reformist vision in the other.

    Yet dark forces stir beyond sight, a shadowy coalition vies to restore an ancient throne, while a savage power rises from the sea, threatening to undo all order. From the frozen North, a rising king with mysterious motives stirs the winds of war, his ambitions hidden beneath the ice and snow.

    The last lords of the old world will dance, and not all will live to see the dawn

    Summary

    Some say the gods play strange and cruel games, a sentiment Aemon Snow can attest to all too well.

    The brewing discontent of 282 AC found itself all but snuffed out with the return of one of the Seven Kingdoms' most bitter enemies: The Shivers. Be it cruel kings or righteous peasants, all felt the loving embrace of its ghastly mercies.

    But as the bards sing: the more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Summary

    Melisandre condemned kings to their death when she'd thrown the leeches into the fire, but her plan was foiled by another sorcerer from the Further East. Robb Stark has escaped the Twins with his host shattered, yet that very same sorcery that saved him also saved Joffrey from the Strangler. By saving two lives the stranger have doomed countless more to their death. An incandescent, vengeful North against the unfaltering Lannister-Tyrell South.

    Those cascading ripples he'd sparked would not stop at this war of utter annihilation, for an ancient, long forgotten past is rearing its ugly head. The Others lurk beyond the Wall, the Long Night approaches, yet few know of their true nature. The answer lies in the distant past, before there was a Valyrian Freehold, before there was a Golden Empire of Yi Ti, before dragons themselves. Before Dawn, there is only darkness.

    Summary

    “This is magic, Jon.” Said Robb, fervently. “This is some sort of hellish magic, the work of the Other himself. Who else would benefit from turning back time and undoing a war that saved the lives of every man, woman and child in Westeros, except the demons who lost? Father and Ser Rodrik have taught me how to lead men, and fight men who live and bleed, but this? This dream of yours, that wasn’t a dream at all? It’s absolutely fucking mad.”

    Jon Snow had made a life for himself beyond The Wall, after he was banished for Queenslaying. A happy life. A life he had always wanted.

    And then, one day, he woke up in Winterfell, twenty years ago.

    What began as a dream turns into a nightmare as he discovers that something is not content with 'merely' the Long Night being averted, and no matter how many times he falls chasing an unknowable, impossible quest, it refuses to let him stay dead. Once, he followed a woman who dreamed of Breaking the Wheel. Now, the Wheel will Break him.
