Summary
Alicent and Rhaenyra develop a scheme that may stop the Dance before it can progress any further, but they both must fight to convince their sides that a challenge extended to Maegor the Cruel early in his reign is the best option for them now. What seemed promising in the shelter of the sept soon spirals out of their control, putting several Targaryen lives on the line in one bloody battle for the throne.
“It is too late, Rhaenyra.”
Alicent stood shakily with her words and began to move away.
“Alicent!” Rhaenyra called after her, feeling the last vestiges of her hope slipping away on the heels of her former friend. A roaring rose in her ears, a tidal wave demanding she do something, anything, to keep Alicent at her side. To keep the peace that her forefathers had fought so hard to build. Without clear thought, she turned her back to the flames and said the only words that might keep the Dowager Queen from retreating and allowing this war to take shape.
