Summary
After dying at Ashford Meadow, Baelor Breakspear should have remained in the grave.
Instead, he wakes in a forest clearing in modern-day Sweden on the day of Midsummer, far from his realm, far from his century, and impossibly alive. There, he is found by Vinga: a woman of the modern world whose life is about to become bound to his in ways neither of them yet understands.
But Baelor’s return is no accident. The realm he left behind was never truly saved. Can Baelor and Vinga save it?
The Light That Returned is a long-form, long-running story of resurrection, fate, prophecy, love, myth, magic, and second chances—a rewrite of both the Dunk and Egg era and Game of Thrones, where old tragedies are not the final word, and the light may yet return to a realm that has forgotten what saved it once before.
Featuring Baelor, Vinga, and, in time, characters from across the wider Targaryen and Game of Thrones canon (because yes, I am still salty about that ending).
Pairings, tags, and warnings will be updated as the story expands.
Updates on Thursdays and Sundays.
