Summary
Jacaera Velaryon is no warrior, so Baela goes to the Gullet and dies in her place. After Rhaenyra takes King’s Landing, a disagreement forces Jacaera to return to Dragonstone. There, her own garrison betrays her, and the Princess of Dragonstone becomes a captive of Aegon II, returned from the dead.
As the scales of victory turn in favor of the Greens, Jacaera tries to find the boy she once loved in the scarred man who has become her enemy. Despite everything, Aegon is fond of her still, and she uses that to her advantage. But not even she can convince him to show mercy to those who have done him wrong.
When all the ashes settle, she isn’t sure she can forgive him. But she will do what she must to bring peace to the realm.

Summary
In the year 233 AC, King Maekar fell in battle, his eldest sons already claimed by fire, and folly. Leaving his succession in doubt, the realm teetered on the edge of chaos until the King’s Hand called a Great Council to settle the matter. Of the five claims presented, one was dismissed, another refused, and a third silenced with blood to secure the Hand’s will. Thus it came down to two: Prince Aegon, the king’s youngest son, and Maegor, the king’s grandson through his second son. Though Aegon bore the mockery and mistrust of lords great and small, young Maegor, still a babe at his mother’s breast, bore a far darker burden. He carried the name of a cursed tyrant and the blood of a monster who'd succumbed to madness. Madness, many whispered, that the child must surely share. So it was Aegon who ascended the Iron Throne, crowned by the will of Bloodraven.
But a question remained, one few care to answer:
What of the boy sired by madness?
What of the child with fire in his blood... and a throne stolen before he could crawl?Bookmarked by VitBur

Summary
The Dance of the Dragons is over and Rhaenyra Targaryen is dead, but Aegon II Targaryen's throne is far from secure. With enemies approaching and rumors swirling of a plot to replace him with Rhaenyra's son, a badly injured Aegon II Targaryen must somehow unite a deeply divided realm and convince his lords that he is still capable of being king. To do this, he makes a plan to marry Baela Targaryen, daughter of his most hated enemy.
