Summary
“Master yourself, Aegon,” his mother said. Despite the harsh words, her voice had softened slightly, and he wondered where she’d found that scrap of sympathy when her kindness was usually reserved for Helaena or Aemond. But then, he'd just been given life-altering— no, life-shattering— news, and he supposed his mother's own life had been shattered once or twice before. “Get dressed. Clean clothes, please. Try to look presentable, and not give your father reason to question his recent decisions.” She touched his arm and he looked up at her, his vision blurry with stupid, sudden tears. “It’s an honor. He chose you over her. Remember that. We’ll be waiting for you in the king’s chambers.”

To prevent war, Aegon is named heir and betrothed to Baela Targaryen.- Language:

Summary
The Dance of the Dragons is over and Rhaenyra Targaryen is dead, but Aegon II Targaryen's throne is far from secure. With enemies approaching and rumors swirling of a plot to replace him with Rhaenyra's son, a badly injured Aegon II Targaryen must somehow unite a deeply divided realm and convince his lords that he is still capable of being king. To do this, he makes a plan to marry Baela Targaryen, daughter of his most hated enemy.

Summary
Rhaenyra and Aegon - they were dragon riders. They were owed nothing less than the skies.
Let the worms keep to the earth. What weight bore the law against dragon fire? What weight bore the Faith against those who trusted themselves divine? What could the foundations of the earth mean to those who lived in the clouds?
Nothing. It meant nothing at all.

Summary
Nile checked her gun. "How long does it take to get used to all the blood and guts?"
Booker laughed. "You ever seen Joe or Nicky when the other one's leaking badly?"
"So, forever."
"I can only say that I'm not used to it yet." He looked down at himself. "But if it's mine, it's not as bad."
"Is that why you jumped on the grenade?"
"I don't know. I saw it, I went for it. If I weren't immortal I would be dead many times over. I'm not a fancy fighter." He took a peek and got grazed on the side of his head. "Ow. Fuck. How are you handling the transition?"
"It's weird," she said truthfully. "Everyone's a million years older than me."
"Yeah," he said with a horribly insincere grin as blood trickled down the side of his face. "And they'll never really get it. Quynh was a hundred by the time Andy found her. Joe and Nicky died together. And then there's us."
Everyone else is very old and paired off, so Nile decides her cohort needs to unionize. Any good union comes with benefits, even it takes you both ten years to be ready for all of them.

Summary
In the wake of the American Civil War, four immortal humans find themselves living more or less peaceful lives in New York City. Like their neighbors, they struggle with loss, the weight of grief, and the uncertainty about what might lie beyond death. Not yet a hundred years old, Booker finds these conflicts particularly difficult. An encounter with a photographer who promises miracles challenges Booker’s faith in reality – but it also brings him a second chance to have a family.
