Summary
The mysterious death of Aerys Targaryen leaves the throne to his eldest son. With power concentrated in his hand, Rhaegar chooses leniency to revenge for those who have been declared traitors. There is one thing he wants in return. Eddard Stark does not dare refuse.
By bringing Lyanna Stark into his plan to take the throne, Rhaegar has created an insurmountable rift between himself and his lady wife. Elia Martell is convinced that her husband wishes to rid himself of her so he can continue his liaison with the Northerner lady he keeps close at hand.
Having failed to deliver the promised daughter, Lyanna knows very well that her only hope rests in the affection, whatever of it is left, that the King carries for her. She has sealed more than just her fate by running away with him. And if it is her wish that no one else lose their life for her folly, then by Rhaegar's side she must remain no matter what comes their way.
