Summary
Eleven years after her marriage to Rickon Stark, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen returns to King’s Landing to claim her throne — only to uncover the horrors her father left behind. Within the Red Keep, Alicent Hightower and her children — Aegon, Helaena, Aemond, and Daeron — have been living in silent terror, broken by years of abuse at the hands of Viserys and his most loyal men. As Rhaenyra and Rickon bring their Northern-born children to court, they begin to uncover the rot in the royal household: children taught to obey through pain, a mother kept in chains of fear and shame, and a court that stood complicit in silence.
While justice is swift for those who enabled the cruelty, healing proves far slower. Rhaenyra must earn the trust of those she once misjudged, while Alicent and her children struggle to accept gentleness after years of violence.
