Closer to Men Than Gods

(The first chapter is incomplete. This is just a preview while it's under editing.)

Tragedy strikes. The queen is dead, and the king must remarry to secure the lineage in case the madness does consume his only living son.

It does. Prince Jaehaerys, only son to King Viserys I and Queen Aemma Arryn, flees the capital in outrage and grief, renouncing his claim to the Iron Throne and shattering the realm.

With no heir, the king calls upon Princess Rhaenyra to take his place.

It's been nine years since the prince has been seen. And while the king and his advisors believe they have resolved the inheritance crisis, a new issue arises with the two children Jaehaerys left behind.

Twins Daedre and Vyktar Targaryen care not for their father's return but yearn for the titles and honor he's denied them. The two, growing up amidst harsh politics, they separately seek recognition, power, and love.
