   Summary

   Transported eighteen years in the past and having had no choice but to answer Queen Alicent Hightower’s summons, Viraelya, filled with apprehension, finds herself back in King’s Landing. A place that was as much her own grave as it was that of the people she loved. As the court still basks in peace, she can only see the shadows of the war to come : broken children, burning dragons, and the ruins left behind by fire and ambition. While most people finds themselves unsettled by this strange little girl with silver eyes far too old for her years, Viraelya is forced to stand before the very individuals she once blamed for the destruction of everyone she ever held dear in another life.
   Some places never release their ghosts. And some ghosts return to change the story.
