White Cloak - A GoT Fan-Fiction

*** Winner of the WattPad GoT Fan-Fiction Contest 2018 ***
"They call me the Blood Rose, Ser. If you wish to know why, then come."

Ser Merwyn Bramble is honoured to accept the white cloak of the Queensguard from his old friend Queen Cersei Lannister, but his duty will come at a price. The Sons of Balerion, a Targaryen loyalist faction, wage a new war on the streets of King's Landing, burning nobles alive and threatening all that Cersei holds dear.

Ser Merwyn's first official appointment is to head-up a band of four assassins, tasked with uncovering the Sons of Balerion and reminding them that a Lannister always pays her debts. In a city that punishes the just and breaks the weak, Ser Merwyn must adapt to carry his own weight. No easy task, when the white cloak is on your back.

Entry for the Game of Thrones Fan-Fiction contest. The prompt was the Game of Thrones show, so this story is set almost immediately after where the show has ended (season 7). I've tried to blend aspects from the ASOIAF books as well, as I really couldn't help myself. Though the MC is entirely fictional (as are members of his supporting cast), there are a host of George R.R Martin's characters in the piece, and I've tried to make locations, scenes and settings as realistic as possible from within the ASOIAF world. I was bound to an 8K word limit, so bear that in mind when tackling this. Other than that, I hope you enjoy.
