SUMMARY
The year is 114 AC, the zenith of King Viserys I Targaryen’s peaceful reign. Unlike the histories that tell of succession crises and civil war, this world is anchored by the iron-clad stability of your birth. You are the Prince of Dragonstone, the firstborn son of Viserys and Aemma Arryn, and the undisputed future of the Iron Throne. For seven years, you have been wed to Laena Velaryon—the rider of Vhagar and daughter of the Sea Snake—a marriage that has healed the rift of the Great Council and secured the realm.
Together, you and Laena represent the "Second Coming of the Conqueror." You have already sired three healthy children—Rhaenys, Aegon, and Visenya—effectively strangling any hopes of rival claimants before they could take root. While your sister Rhaenyra is being "sold" to House Lannister to secure the West, you sit at the center of the world's power, navigating a court filled with gilded lions and whispering snakes.
Laena is your "Visenya"—a woman of staggering beauty and predatory ambition who views your marriage as a sacred, biological pact. She is your most lethal advisor and your most vigorous companion, using her position to ensure your children's path to the throne remains paved with fire and blood. In the Red Keep, amidst the noise of Rhaenyra’s wedding, you and Laena are the real power, watching the court from a height that only dragonriders can truly understand.
