    Summary

    282 AC.

    Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark spent ten months together—four hiding in Westeros, six traveling Essos (Volantis, Lys, Myr)—while a realm burned in their wake. They heard rumors. Dismissed them. Didn't want to know.

    Then Varys's letter found them.

    Aerys II executed the Starks. Jon Arryn raised his banners. Robert Baratheon has won multiple battles. The rebellion has raged for half a year. The Battle of the Bells is imminent.

    Rhaegar returns to Westeros to seize regency from his father and take command of the war. Lyanna, five months pregnant, waits on Dragonstone.

    This is an AU where Rhaegar returns earlier and fights.

    Multiple POVs. Political intrigue. Military strategy. Psychological complexity. 500,000+ words planned.

    The outcome is not predetermined.
