The War of heirs or Dance of the Dragons was a civil war during Targaryen rule of the Seven Kingdoms. A war of succession between Aegon II and Rhaenyra over their father Viserys I's throne, the war was fought from 130 AC to 132 AC. Dragon for Dragon Aegon's claim was based on the fact that he was the first born male of King Viserys while Rhaenyra's claim was based on the fact that Viserys had named her heir to Dragonstone and the Iron Throne and that King had supported this decision until his last breath.

The birth of Rhaenyra's three daughters seemed to ease tensions, Visenya II Targaryen, first born, heir to the queen, pearl of the kingdom and ward of King Viserys. She was loved by everyone, from Queen Alice who voted for her and from Prince Aemond for whom she represented a debt in exchange for her eye. The princess had taken everything from her father Prince Daemon Targaryen, unstable and protective of her family.
Aemma II, the rebel princess, had everything her mother valued, she was the first female swordsman in Westeros, promised to Aegon (crazy in love with the princess) she had been sent by Visenya and daemon to sit on the green councils and monitor them, she had been called "black spy" during the dance.
Lyanna Targaryen, the People's Princess. She loved living in the lower world, abandoned herself to royal tasks and offered her possessions to the people, which had been a great advantage during the dance, she had been promised to Lord Cregan Stark.
For several years everything seemed to be going well, but in 129 Ac, the death of Ser Harwin Strong at the hands of Lord Gwayne Hightower deteriorated the relationship between green and black.
Gwayne was executed for treason by Visenya and Aegon with the help of Otto and Larys Strong usurped the throne. The dance took hold and the War of the Heirs began with the death of Prince Lucerys Targaryen.

You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Alicent. You are my wife, My Queen. MINE." ~ Maegor Targaryen "My mother was made to produce heirs, until it killed her. I won't subject myself to the same fate." ~ Rheanyra Targaryen "How sweetly the fox speaks when it's been cornered by the hounds." ~ Alicent Hightower "You will never be a Queen, and he will never love you sweet sister, you will end up miserable, looking for death in your marriage." ~ Charlotte Hightower "Dreams didn't make us Kings. Dragons did." ~Daemon Targaryen "Every traits I hate about your mother, persist in you, she was insolent when I married her, I hope you'd grow out of it as she had Alicent, but alas, time continues to prove me wrong". ~ Ser Otto Hightower TO LOVE A KING tells the tale of two half sisters driven to edge of the sword.

"The dream...it was clearer than a memory. And I heard the sound of thundering hooves, splintering shields and ringing swords. And I placed my heir upon the Iron Throne, and all the dragons roared as one." ~ King Viserys Targaryen "If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all. But when I say 'I love you', it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Alicent. ~ Geralt Targaryen "Brother, if you're named heir and I your Princess Consort, your claim would not be so easily challenged. The Velaryons are of the sea. But you and I are made of fire We have always been meant to burn together." ~ Rheanyra Targaryen "Where is duty? Where is sacrifice? It's trampled under your pretty foot again." ~ Alicent Hightower "Think for yourself. It'll save you a lifetime of heartbreak." ~ Yennefer Martell "Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did." ~Daemon Targaryen The Dragon's Heart Is Mine tells the tale of two best friends torn apart by men in their lives. It also includes their political alliances and especially the civil war between the Greens and Blacks. The war between two siblings, torn between marriage and love, however, their history forms the core of House of The Dragon. Viserys' choice for Geralt to marry Alicent Hightower and Daemon's attraction to Rhaenyra instigated most of the events that shaped their lives forever. Every character's ideas of marital unions and love are vastly different from each other, giving rise to insightful and memorable impact, thereby causing a division of civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

The Queen spoke again, harsher more stern „I will not entertain this" the king said clearly trying to avoid his wife's wrath even if he already incurred it. „fine then I will personally tell you what I mean, how long have you been warming Daenaera Velaryon's bed." The queen got up and started saying angrily at the king „Jaehaera-" King Aegon tried to speak but his wife quickly cut him off. "Do you take me for a fool! Huh?"

"You are the bane of my existence. If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all. But when I say 'I love you, it's the truth. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Rheanyra. Alicent was just a mere distraction. Tis you I want by side. My wife. Mine. My Queen." ~ King Naegon I Targaryen "I always knew we were meant to burn together with fire and blood, the dead are scorched with taste of passion, they do not stagger for blind love or some lost mirage, but I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth, I will tell you where you are." ~ Queen Rheanyra Targaryen "Why do you always favour her as if I don't exist! I am your wife! The mother of your children, and yet you place her above everything else! And now her son has taken Aemond's eye, and to even that, she feels entitled! And all you say is make up for peace? No! I don't want peace Naegon! I want Aegon's eye in return! A son for a son!" ~ Queen Alicent Hightower The Tale Of Two Queens is a labyrinth. All it took was favorism of Naegon, followed by his unexpected favouritism to first wife Queen Rheanyra, her children and his grandchildren, caused his second wife, Queen Alicent to be envious with indecisiveness, leading her jealousy to stir chaos amongst the Greens themselves. Alicent constantly tries to put her bloodline ahead of Rheanyra's offsprings, the strife between the two women is a ferocious factor leading to the game of thrones. After the suspicious death (murder) of the King Naegon, the House of the Dragon fight for the claim of the iron throne, thereby causing a shift of the wing, a division of civil war in the realm which also includes political alliances, especially the patriarchy and misogyny between the Greens and Blacks, which led to the Dance of the Dragons.
