Summary
Crown Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen needed heirs to secure her position as a successor to the Iron Throne, and with Alicent Hightower already giving birth to three healthy boys with lilac eyes and Targaryen-light hair, the Princess of the Realm made a decision as bold as it was desperate.
Jacaerys Velaryon was born with the help of only one midwife that died of old age soon after. Three summers later, his brother Lucerys greets the world with no one but his mother in the room.
***
The choice Lucerys's mother makes during his birth changes the course of history. The consequences of it befall on the boy, unexpectedly tying his fate with the uncle he mutilated as a child, and whose obsession with revenge burns brighter than the flames of the dragon he rides.
