Summary
At the edge of a lake where silence speaks,
There you will stand, with water at your feet,
The father’s voice, a command from the shore,
The lover’s, a cry from the depths below.For in this choice, there is no right, no wrong,
Only the bitter taste of sacrifice and the sharp sting of love.
The father will never forget,
And the lover may never forgive.
And you, oh you, will be torn between them,
The child of both, yet belonging to neither.Whichever path you take,
The lake will not forget your tears.
The waters will sing your song for all eternity—
Of love, of loss, of the price of the choices made.Aemond was far from happy.

No, his true dread lay in the thought of seeing his nephews again, after everything that had transpired between them.
Little did he know that, on the island, he would meet someone who would change his life, for better or worse... that, time alone would reveal...
