Summary
Rhaena Targaryen, tired of playing nursemaid to her two younger half-brothers, makes a bold decision-to claim Sheepstealer, the wild dragon that has made a home on the hillside of the Eyrie. Determined to be a dragonrider like her sister Baela and join the war, she rushes headlong towards the beast, and towards freedom.
Meanwhile, Rhaenyra has to contend with the new dragonseeds and ensure they learn the ways of the dragonriders. Addam of Hull-a newly minted dragonlord and bastard son of Corlys Velaryon-proves especially loyal, and she decides to award him by knighting him Ser Addam Velaryon.
When Rhaena returns to Dragonstone atop her new steed, Rhaenyra is both worried and impressed-the girl is far too young and inexperienced for battle, and is still untethered after the loss of her betrothed, Lucerys. Driftmark is still in need of an heir, and when Corlys decides to legitimise Alyn, Addam's brother, and declare him heir to Driftmark, there is nothing to stop Rhaenyra from arranging the betrothal of Rhaena to Addam, now the second son of an old and reputed house, and a suitable match for a princess.
