Summary
In a bid to restore peace to the Seven Kingdoms, King Viserys promises his younger brother that he will grant whatever he wishes if he wins the war in the Stepstones in the King's name.
After eight long years, the rogue prince, Daemon Targaryen, emerges victorious from the bloodied shores and sends word to the capital of his triumph and impending return. He will be claiming his prize as promised, and has chosen the one thing King Viserys does not wish to give, the hand of his daughter, the princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Summary
In the tenth year of the reign of King Viserys I, a strange malady befell both his queen and his daughter. Queen Aemma Arryn was the first to sicken, seized by a fever so violent that her ladies feared she would be lost before dawn. Before a day had passed the princess was stricken by the very same heat.
For three days and three nights the court was cloaked in terror. The king kept vigil beside his wife and child in turn, unwilling to leave either chamber for long, while the maesters whispered of humors and contagion but found no sure cure. Prayers were spoken at every hour, and more than one lord muttered that House Targaryen’s line stood on the edge of ruin.
Yet as suddenly as it had come upon them, the fever broke. On the morning of the fourth day, Queen Aemma called for water, and not long after Princess Rhaenyra asked for food. Both rose from their beds as if nothing at all had passed between life and death, pale but unharmed, as though the sickness had been no more than a shadow fleeting across their shared blood.

Summary
When Violet returns from a trip to visit her mom and walks in on her boyfriend of three years cheating, she suddenly finds herself searching for a new home. Enter her best friend's boyfriend's old roommates and the still-empty bedroom in their apartment. After an awkward meeting at the bar, where she manages to insult the one most opposed to a new roommate, they decide to give it a chance. Except now she can't escape her annoying(ly hot) roommate.
When Xaden's roommate and best friend moved in with his girlfriend of 2 years, he thought the empty bedroom would stay empty. It's not like they need help with the rent. Then she tells them about her best friend, who was recently cheated on, going through his own breakup; he feels enough camaraderie to agree to meet her. After getting scolded in his own bar by the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, he agrees more readily than any of his roommates would expect. Now his apartment smells like flowers, his dog won't sleep in his room anymore, and his roommates won't stop giving him shit.

Summary
A single act—Queen Alyssane’s gift of two dragon eggs to House Velaryon—served as a stark wake-up call for King Jaehaerys. What might have seemed a simple gesture of kindness instead forced him to confront the fragility of his house, igniting a resolve to protect the Targaryen legacy at all costs.
