Alicent Hightower died as nothing more than a grieving mother. She spent her final days haunted by the screams of her children and the realization that she was merely a pawn in her father's pursuit of a throne.
When she wakes in 101 AC, she is no longer that girl. Carrying the memories of her first life and the soul of Alicent Potter, the Master of Death from a world much different than the one she was familiar with, she refuses to be a martyr again. While Otto Hightower calculates which Targaryen bed will best serve his ambition, Alicent is already rewriting her fate. She rejects the crown and orchestrates a marriage to Garlan Tyrell: the heir to Highgarden.
But the blood of Valyria is restless. As the decades pass, the Targaryens begin to wake from fever dreams of a future that never was. Those collective dreams turns into a dark obsession as the Targaryens become fixated on the Lady of Highgarden. At the same time, the realm fractures. Without a common enemy in the Greens, the dynasty splits from within. Team Black rallies behind Rhaenyra's claim while Team Blue gathers under the wealth and might of Laena Velaryon and her children.
