Summary
The poppy was growing stronger now. It was stealing everything away: his pain, his fear, his own tiresome web-weaving. Baelor drifts into the night, unmoored. A lovely comforting image resurfaces in his mind’s eye: a too-tall straw-haired man with storybook charm, stooped by a stone door. His guards and maesters flowing, to and fro, to and fro, black robes and white cloaks, back and forth from his chambers. It is a coursing river, with a seven-pointed star shining above and Baelor at its center. Oaken roots surround him; it is his knight, and he has grown roots all around his prince, thick and fast and sturdy forevermore.
-----
What follows after Ashford: the growing plot of the Blackfyre Rebellions; the black dragon, the red dragon and the hedge knight.

Summary
“I bring the King his tea in the morning,” the girl rushes out. “I always do it, my princess, you can ask anyone. Today, when I went inside, when I tried to wake him-“
Rhaenyra’s breath catches and her heart thumps quicker. It might jump out of her chest. “What is it?”
The girl’s chin wobbles and her voice wavers across the room. “The King is dead.”
OR
Marriage pacts are signed and festivities are in order and yet tragedy strikes House Targaryen when King Viserys dies only a week before his wedding to Alicent Hightower. Rhaenyra Targaryen, a girl of six and ten, ascends the throne.

Summary
She followed his lead, got to her knees and lit a candle. Ran her fingers through the flame and let her shoulders slump.
She turned to him, mouth flat. “What will you pray for?”
He looked at her, hair darker than the flame, the bump of his nose small. He said nothing, but he never looked away. It was enough.
✹
The hate gets suffocating after a time, threatens to choke her between the silks of her bed and let the meat from her bones rot until she is unrecognizable. Hating the Queen has made Rhaenyra into a different person, more dragon than girl, her skin turning from satin to scales. Hating her half-brother has made her into a tyrant, willing to kill a babe if it meant the threat of disinheritance would disappear.
But hating the Queen’s brother, it has made her so much worse.

Summary
Baelor Breakspear loves his brother. Maekar is his to hold, his to keep, his to protect from the whole of the realm and from himself, and Baelor has never once doubted the gods placed him in his hands for exactly that purpose.
What lies between them is theirs alone, kept behind closed doors and unspoken even to their own children. But his children, and Maekar's, each catch a glimpse of it. The way the fiercest man in the realm goes quiet for one person alone.
None of them see the whole.
