    Summary

    “Were you not an alpha,” said Baelor, slowly, as if the words pained him, “Then no trial could commence.”

    Ser Duncan stared at him for a long moment, brows furrowed. “But I am – I am an alpha.”

    Baelor nodded slowly. He made himself sigh, twist the rings on his hand as if he was forcing himself to speak it into existence. He watched Ser Duncan carefully as he said, “Alphas need not remain alphas.”

    Summary

    “Why fight how much you enjoyed it?” Istvan’s cold thumb stroked the meat of his palm, the man eyed him sidelong, smile sly and smug. “That year was the most thrilling of your life. No one’s given you the pleasure I have.”

    Summary

    Ser Duncan the Tall was unlike any other.

    A knight, tall and broad, older than the princes, scarred from battles and fights they begged to hear about. Knights as tall as he was were rare and of course a matter of discussion. Omega knights were just as rare, with most omegas being steered away from such a dangerous career. Ser Duncan the Tall, an omega knight, was a rarity in the realms.

    Queen Myriah had no qualms over taking him into her service – Dorne had a long history of women and omega warriors. She delighted in the chance to have another omega in the keep, one sworn to keep her safe. She could be seen walking beside Ser Duncan through the gardens, one hand on his forearm, chatting about his travels in Dorne and her childhood there.

    Maekar watched him, watched Ser Duncan walk, watched him train, watched him smile, and he wanted.

    Summary

    They break him, in Vranik.

    Those closest to him die. Others turn their faces away from him. Abandoned and aching, Henry realises the abyss separating him from his liege lord and father, and from the young lord of Pirkstein, and from all those souls who knew him before Sigismund's forces razed Skalitz, is simply insurmountable.

    Standing at the crossroads in the midst of scorching summer, he chooses the one and only path that offers respite from fear and shame. Even if it means betraying Radzig and Capon alike; even if it comes at the price of his soul and leads right into the maw of the Beast.

    Summary

    In the dark, sometimes, he imagined it. Some boy or girl like him, soot-winged, alone. How their hand might feel in his, their wings curved over his head. For once not the largest thing in the room. For once, his body just the right size.

    Summary

    Lyonel’s post-tournament hangovers rarely had anything to do with the amount of spirits he’d consumed.

    Even though it left Lyonel feeling like the ass end of a mule, there was nothing like days on end of having his blood up, of tearing through the lists against any alpha, beta, or omega that was brave enough to tap his shield. The noise, the chaos, the crash-splinter of lances and the bone-jarring impact of melee weapons, all of it helped alleviate the storm perpetually trapped underneath Lyonel’s skin.

    Lyonel leaves Ashford without fanfare, without answers, and without Duncan.

    Or so he thought.

    "So you have bedded a woman?"

    "No, Raymun, you need to keep up, my love. He's not bedded anyone because he's got a shy prick." She peered at the shawl on his lap. "Or might not? There's nowt wrong that I can tell from here."

    Beset as he is by agonies, Dunk long ago gave up on easy pleasure; Raymun and Rowan aim to rectify that.

    Summary

    Smoke curled from the wicked beast’s nostrils; a guttural growl rumbled in its massive chest. They stood still; eye to eye - each breath posing as possible invitation for their next exchange of strikes.

    Henry of Skalitz - riding under the banner of his liege lord Radzig Kobyla - had been sent out to Trosky on behalf of Sir Otto von Bergow to aid in a matter most trifling.

    Summary

    “He didn’t mean it!” Aegon gestured at Daeron, who had yet to move or make a sound aside from the occasional drunken gurgle. “He’s just out of it is all. I promise, Ser.”

    “He thanked me for standing there to catch it, boy. He meant it.” The giant looked up from his washing to Aegon, and his eyes widened dramatically at Maekar. Aegon turned to follow his gaze, and his big eyes became even wider than the giant’s.

    “Aegon,” said Maekar, voice deathly quiet. “Where is your hair?”

    Summary

    “Well,” Istvan says, voice brittle. “That wasn't very polite of you. Two fathers and neither taught you manners?”

    Before Henry can react, Istvan has him by the back of his neck, pulling him sideways and shoving him down. With his arms tied, he can’t fight back; his feet scrabble on the floor, but Istvan holds him fast. Istvan's forearm, tight across his shoulders, proves deceptively strong. Henry can't move.

    “I see so much of myself in you,” he continues, keeping Henry pinned to his lap as Henry’s struggling weakens. “I can’t help but care about you, Henry, ungrateful as you’ve been. And, as they say, spare the rod, spoil the child.”

    At Vranik, Istvan stays a little longer with Henry—and offers him much to consider, whether he's ready for it or not.

    Summary

    No, this can’t be…

    Shaking with dread, he slowly traced his fingers down the slick, wet rivets oozing down his leg. With each agonizing second, his trepidation mounted. The world seemed to still completely as Duncan raised his trembling arm, slowly bringing his slick fingers to his face.

    Please... No!

    His sight blurred with tears and breath hitching in pure terror at the sight of the glistening, translucent substance coating his fingertips started back at him, gleaming almost mockingly in the moonlight.

    For as long as he could remember, Duncan served the Targaryen family, working hard and dreaming of the day he would be released from service to build his own future. But in a single night, his world is turned upside down, a sudden, impossible transformation from an alpha to omega throws every single one of his life plans entirely awry.

    Summary

    Dunk, an omega too large and too strong to ever be suspected of being one, was riding for Ashford when he felt his heat coming on. He drank a serum to delay it, enough to last to the end of the tourney — had he not crossed paths with a young unmated alpha who smelled of tar, smoke, and blood: Aerion Targaryen.

    During the Trial of Seven, Dunk fought through pain and fever; but when he found himself one-on-one with Aerion, he knew the prince had caught his scent. It distracted the young dragon long enough for Dunk to land the blow that made him yield. The victory tasted bitter and dishonest, though, and there was no way for Dunk to explain himself without bringing worse trouble on his own head. He needs to leave.

    And just as he means to, the wind brings him the smell of tar, smoke, and blood.

    Summary

    "I’m not a man in the habit of repeating myself, but I’ll indulge you just this once,” Maekar rumbled. “I can’t decide if I want to fight you or fuck you, Ser Duncan, but Aegon will be cross if he learns we’ve come to blows with one another, even if it was in the training yard.”

    “Don’t much imagine he would be any better if he found out the latter, my lord.”

    Ser Duncan is due at Summerhall, and Maekar thinks back on how he and the hedge knight worked through their animosity. Meanwhile, an unexpected raven brings Baelor some unwelcome tidings.
