Summary
Jaime Lannister was born to inherit Casterly Rock and become one of the greatest knights in the Seven Kingdoms.
He was never meant to wear a white cloak.
In another life, a single choice would set him on the road to becoming the Kingslayer.
But this is not that life.
Here, he remains Tywin Lannister’s heir, bound to Casterly Rock and to the duties and burdens of his name.
At Harrenhal, paths never meant to cross converge. Old alliances shift, futures unravel, and unexpected attachments take root. A young lion is drawn back to the girl beneath Harrenhal’s black bats, a quiet wolf finds a lioness worth baring his teeth for, and a prince looks where he should not, only to find a winter rose looking back.
Above them sits a king who is not mad at all. His only madness comes in strokes of genius, much to his Lord Commander’s dismay, while the Kingsguard takes a personal interest in matters beyond their vows.
Jaime escaped the white cloak.
Some destinies are inherited. Some are imposed.
And some are chosen.
After all, the things we choose for love can change everything.
