    Summary

    "You Westerosi are all the same. You sew some beast upon a scrap of silk, and suddenly you are all lions or dragons or eagles".

    Well, Illyrio Mopatis was right on the money with that one.

    Summary

    After Prince Jon fled to the Wall, his father began a desperate search in Essos. When he returned, he had a new Queen by his side, the location of his son... and a kingdom wracked with political instability. When Rhaegar rides North, his three Queens are left to try to hold Westeros together... and deal not only with squabbling nobles, starving smallfolk, and an enraged Faith, but with something even closer to home.

    A string of poisonings hits the Red Keep, and an unlikely collection of detectives must stop them before the chaos around the Iron Throne becomes too great to control.

    Summary

    Elia looked at her incredulously. “And you expect me to marry him and straighten this all out? Why would he listen to a thing I have to say?”

    “He won’t. Your job is to make him listen, Elia. And of all the eligible maidens who will be put forth to him as potential second wives, you are cunning enough to do it.”

    “A viper may strike at a lion and poison it,” Elia reasoned darkly, “But a poisoned lion can still kill the viper with a single swipe of his paw.”

    “There’s my wise girl,” Mother smiled. “But perhaps the viper will not have to strike at the lion at all.”

    (Elia Martell becomes the Lady of Casterly Rock due to her mother's machinations. Robarra Baratheon becomes a princess due to a demand for a bride of Targaryen blood. The seeds of rebellion are planted all the same.)
