    Summary

    Aemon Waters was born in the shadow of a ruined dynasty. Allowed to live out of pity, he rules Dragonstone under the watchful eye of Stannis Baratheon. Nearly three centuries ago, his ancestors planned their conquest here; now he stands where they stood, the spawn of rape and war.

    When the realm tears itself apart, as winter itself crept from the far north, the last scion of Dragonstone is forced to choose between the wolves who forgot him, the stags who imprisoned him and the echoes of his father's kin calling for him across the sea.

    The blood within him will burn as the Seven Kingdoms war around him and in the flames, he may yet find a crown, or a pyre.

    Summary

    Fifty years ago, a young Rickard Stark chose to focus his ambitions on his own lands – seizing on a chance invention in Barrowton to build out a new world of coal, smoke, and steel. The great machines bring with them prosperity and advancement, but a lack of alliances leaves Winterfell standing alone when forces from the south steal their favored daughter. Embittered but unwilling to start a losing war over the insult, the Lord of Winterfell retreats even further into his own lands.

    Now King Rhaegar is dead at last, and his son Aegon VI crowned as King – a sickly young man, raised by the faith, and no friend to the North. Deep in the new King’s confidence is a charismatic High Septon whose tenure has been marked by religious fervor and a new wave of intolerance.

    Rickard Stark and the North must face down the crown once again, and this time they may have no choice but to fight.

    Summary

    “I dreamt… many things.” Her voice grew hoarser. “The seasons keep turning, and the long summer draws near…”

    “Then, can you tell me?” Rhaella pressed. “What will become of me?”

    The woodswitch raised her head, and her eyes were now clear but full of pity.

    “Knowing will do you no good, princess.”

    Summary

    Phainon's final battle ended in bitter defeat: crushed by a power he could not overcome. He had failed, once again. And even his sacrifice was in vain. All those deaths... for nothing. He was not a deliverer, but a mere instrument of Destruction.

    Contrary to what he expected, he did not disappear from the cycles or end his nightmare, but ended up in a strange world, so different from where he came from. He must discover where he is, why he is still alive, and whether he intends to remain so.
