   Summary

   The law of equivalent exchange is simple: to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost. Jon Connington understands this.

   He has spent years in exile raising a silver-haired boy and mourning said boy's father. Years of teaching him to read, to fight, to be brave. The witch's blade is Valyrian steel, the boy's hand is small in his and Rhaegar Targaryen has been dead for eight years. One of these things is about to change.

   It is a fair exchange, Jon thinks; the son for the father, the child he raised for the man he loves.
