   Summary

   How much different can one sentence, or a lack thereof, make? The five words that damned Daemon Targaryen, "The Heir for a Day", in this life, were not heard. Can such a small difference prevent the ruin of House Targaryen? Or is war the only fate they can ever know? Alicent and Rhaenyra are caught in the center of a thousand dangerous plots to replace the crown prince and if they do not win the game of thrones, an even more bloody war may follow.

   A reimagined House of the Dragon where Rhaenyra is not named heir in Episode 1.
