   Summary

   Johannas, a bastard of House Jordayne, comes to King's Landing to sit on the small council days before The Hand's Tourney. Little do they know, he, and his pair of cohorts: Vinca and Ebarum have been sent by...certain Martells to orchestrate the assassination of the Lannister heirs. But each of them gets distracted in their own way.

   Johannas finds himself getting addicted to the high-stakes 'Game of Thrones' that the members of the court play in Kings Landing. He deals with Littlefinger, plays brother to Sansa Stark, and becomes utterly infatuated with the Hound. Meanwhile, Ebarum struggles to find his place in the city guard, he finds a friend in Jamie Lannister despite his mission...and oddly enough, finds commonality in Lord Varys. Vinca, a proud Dornishwoman is a jarring sight to the people of King's Landing, and her mouth gets her into trouble wherever she can find it....even in the Queen's quarters.

   It all goes to shit at the Battle of the Blackwater, the trio separates, and chaos follows.
