Summary
We all know the story: Jacaerys Velaryon of House Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne, is sent north to treat with the formidable Cregan Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. Prince Jacaerys is to secure fealty from Lord Stark and his bannermen to support and fight for the prince’s mother, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, First of Her Name.
The prince does well. He renews the North’s support for his mother’s rightful claim to the Iron Throne, and swears an oath with Lord Stark, sealed in blood.
But by the time Cregan Stark himself marches south, Prince Jacaerys has already died. It’s then that the Hour of the Wolf begins…
But what if Jacaerys didn’t die? What if he lived to inherit the Iron Throne, crowned as King Jacaerys, First of His Name, with Lord Cregan Stark at his side throughout it all? What if, yes, these two men sealed an oath in blood to secure what both of them need for their families and their people, but also solidified their love too? A love as burning as the fire Jacaerys’ dragon breathes, and as deep as the snows that blanket the wild, wondrous North.
