   Summary

   The last thing Alyssa does in her rather unremarkable life is stand between her older twin Rhaenyra and Sunfyre. A fool's errand that probably didn't achieve much in terms of saving anyone, let alone her Queen. She opens her eyes to find herself in her own bed, in the Red Keep with her parents still alive and her mother in her fifth month of pregnancy. A cruel dream or a second chance to make a difference? Alyssa must gather her wits and play the game of thrones, not for herself but for her sister, in a world that would rather burn the realm to the ground that bend the knee to a woman. The path to Hell is paved with Alyssa's good intentions and the corpses of her sister's enemies.
