Born during the War of the Ninepenny Kings on the 22nd day of the 9th moon in 260 AC, Prince Aerion Targaryen is the second son of King Aerys II and Queen Rhaella Targaryen. From the moment of his birth, Aerion was overshadowed by his elder brother, Prince Rhaegar-the presumed heir to the Iron Throne. Dismissed by many as the "spare," Aerion's life seemed destined to be one of quiet insignificance.
Yet, even as a young boy, Aerion defied expectations. By the age of four, he was recognized as a prodigy-his natural talent and intellect eclipsing Rhaegar in almost every way. This unanticipated brilliance sowed jealousy in his brother and resentment in his mother, Rhaella, both of whom despised him for merely existing.
In 265 AC, Aerion's fortunes began to change. The court could no longer ignore his potential, and the boy who had been overlooked found himself thrust into the center of attention. But as Aerion's star rose, so too did the weight of expectation and intrigue surrounding him.
How will Aerion's extraordinary gifts shape his future? Will his rise bring redemption to House Targaryen, or will his family's inner turmoil and the Seven Kingdoms' simmering unrest threaten to destroy them all?
Discover the life of Prince Aerion Targaryen as he navigates ambition, betrayal, love, and the shadow of his father's madness in The Mad King's Redemption.
