    Summary

    What would you do in the villain’s place?

    An adult consciousness wakes in the body of three-year-old Joffrey Baratheon. He's armed with foreknowledge and a lifetime's worth of experience… and it is not enough. He is still Cersei's son, still Robert's "heir," and still sitting on a secret that could kill him and everyone he loves. And the more he builds to protect himself, the more he has to lose. This is a story about governance and grief, about the cost of necessary choices, and about what it means to love people who have the power to destroy you.

    It is also, somewhat accidentally, the tale of how King Joffrey I Baratheon completely revolutionized the Westerosi shipbuilding industry, and with it altered the balance of power across the entire known world.

    Summary

    Helena should have drowned.

    Instead, she is carried across a sea that should not have spared her, and wakes on the shores of the Stormlands—alone, displaced, and speaking of a world no one believes exists.

    Taken under the protection of Prince Maekar Targaryen and Baelor Breakspear, Helena is brought to Summerhall, where her presence raises more questions than answers. She does not behave as a noblewoman, nor as a commoner. She does not understand their customs. And yet—she watches, learns, and adapts with a precision that unsettles more than it reassures.

    Westeros knows war as something spoken of in victories and songs.
    Helena knows it differently.

    And as she is drawn further into the structure of court—into the lives of princes, of children, and of the man tasked with watching her too closely—the distance between what she has lived, and what this world refuses to see, begins to narrow.

    Not loudly.
    Not all at once.

    But enough that it cannot be undone.

    Summary

    The Long Night comes. What was once known as Lyanna Stark is raised from its crypt, remade into being of ice and ever-gnawing hunger.

    It hunts and kills and feasts on warm flesh, and does not question this existence until it reaches a castle blackened by dragonfire and uncovers a mystery knight bearing the same face as their own.
