Summary
'Now she clung to Aegon with a strength that belied her frail state as Ser Criston and his sworn brothers lifted her son’s body gently onto the pyre that would reduce him down to blackened bones and steaming marrow, to ash, memory, heartache and finally, indefatigable myth'.
In the wake of Prince Aemond's death, Aegon spirals into grief and reforges himself for the sake of what family remains to him. Boy becomes man.
The sequel to 'A Thousand Cuts Until Insanity'.

Summary
'Say to the court, it glows
And shines like rotten wood;
Say to the church, it shows
What’s good, and doth no good.
If church and court reply,
Then give them both the lie.Tell potentates, they live
Acting by others’ action;
Not loved unless they give,
Not strong but by a faction.
If potentates reply,
Give potentates the lie.'After two years in Oldtown, Ser Aethan Velaryon returns home, only to find all is not as it seems—his brother’s marriage to Princess Rhaenyra is a sham, and his father's decisions have his family teetering on the edge of mutiny. When his wife gives birth to a silver-haired son, Aethan realises what’s truly at stake.
Lady Lynesse Hightower followed her husband back to Driftmark, and is displeased by what she finds. As Otto Hightower’s daughter, she has always had ambitions, and now with nephews in the line of succession and a son whose silver hair gives the lie to a princess’s deception, Lynesse is ready to realise them.
But court is a treacherous place, where southron lords breed their conspiracies and honour weighs a man down. Can Aethan and Lynesse elevate their kin or will they fail at the great game?

Summary
'With solemn reverence: throw away respect,
Tradition, form and ceremonious duty,
For you have but mistook me all this while:
I live with bread like you, feel want,
Taste grief, need friends: subjected thus,
How can you say to me, I am a king?'

Summary
Visenya Velaryon is the first and only trueborn child of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon. As each of her brothers come into the world after her, looking nothing like her nor their father but with a stronger claim to both the iron throne and Driftmark simply because they were born male, Visenya struggles to come to terms with her mother’s decision to name Jace as her heir. Vis then must make the most difficult decision of her life yet: assert her claim to the throne and expose her brothers as bastards in the eyes of all the realm, or risk a war between dragons that could tear down the very family she seeks to protect.

Summary
In Which King Henry has two living sisters including Princess Elizabeth who survives her childhood illness. The sole heir to her mother and grandmother’s gifts and freed from an unhappy marriage sees her return to England to see a King in crisis and the beginning of a monarchy that will change history. And Anthony Knivert the charming knight with the smile of gold is just another wonderful complication that the golden-haired princess cannot stay away from.
AU Anthony/OFC. Some mentions of events in TV Series, The White Queen, The White Princess and The Spanish Princess and RATED M. ALL FOUR SEASONS, Mostly Cannon (ish). Might not be perfectly historically accurate.
