    Summary

    What would you do in the villain’s place?

    An adult consciousness wakes in the body of three-year-old Joffrey Baratheon. He's armed with foreknowledge and a lifetime's worth of experience… and it is not enough. He is still Cersei's son, still Robert's "heir," and still sitting on a secret that could kill him and everyone he loves. And the more he builds to protect himself, the more he has to lose. This is a story about governance and grief, about the cost of necessary choices, and about what it means to love people who have the power to destroy you.

    It is also, somewhat accidentally, the tale of how King Joffrey I Baratheon completely revolutionized the Westerosi shipbuilding industry, and with it altered the balance of power across the entire known world.

    Summary

    Robert was slain at the Trident, the Mad King died a victim of his own madness, and Rhaegar passed away not long after. The young Targaryen children must now brave an uncertain world. What will be their fate when the last of the dragons are mere hatchlings surrounded by wolves, lions, krakens, and even worse?

    Follow the young Targaryen children, Aegon, Jon, and Rhaenys, as they learn to navigate the intrigues and betrayals of court. They and their guardians must try to stitch back together a divided realm that has more than enough reason to be at each other's throats.

    Summary

    Everyone knows Mace Tyrell is a fool. The Fat Flower of Highgarden, an oaf who stumbled into power and lets his formidable mother run the Reach from behind his chair.

    Everyone is wrong.

    When the Tyrells embark on an unprecedented journey north—ostensibly to visit the legendary Wall—they bring more than wagons laden with grain and steel. They bring questions. Particularly about a certain bastard boy raised alongside the Stark heirs, treated with far more care than any lord's indiscretion should warrant.

    But the North keeps its own counsel, and Eddard Stark has survived a rebellion, kept his secrets for fourteen years, and will not yield them easily—not even to the cleverest roses the South can grow.
