   Summary

   Qhorak wakes reborn on the Dothraki Sea, inhabiting the body of a rider shaped by scars and war. The khalasar he rides with is restless, its khal weakening, its future unspoken but heavy on every watchful gaze.

   As ambition coils beneath the grass and rivals begin to close in, survival will demand more than strength. It will require patience, perception, and knowing precisely when to strike—and when to melt from the field.

   The steppe rewards those who strike first, move fast, and leave nothing standing behind them.

   Qhorak remembers a world that prized mercy.
   This one will teach him conquest.

   When Khal Qaranno finally falls, the grass will drink deep.
   What rises from it has yet to be decided.
