In a realm built on blood and fire, one name casts a shadow greater than all others: Lannister. While King's Landing drowns in the chaos of Joffrey's cruelty and Cersei's ambitions, another lion rises from the Rock.
Gerold Lannister, the second born son of the queen, carries a secret bloodline and a destiny shaped by Tywin's ruthless hand. Trained by Ser Jaime and Ser Barristan to be a prodigy with the sword, sharpened by Tywin to be the heir Casterly Rock deserves, Gerold is the golden hope of a House built on power, gold, and pride.
But in the game of thrones, hope is as dangerous as steel. Whispers call him the true prince, lords speak his name with reverence, and blades turn against him in shadows. With Liontooth, his Valyrian steel sword, at his side, Gerold must fight through court intrigue, war, betrayal, and forbidden desires to claim his place in history.
For in Westeros, a lion cub must learn to kill or be devoured.

Blood of Fire and Water
Aegon Targaryen, firstborn son of Prince Rhaegar and Princess Elia Martell, is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and grandson of the Mad King, Aerys II. Older brother to Rhaenys and Orys, and nephew to Viserys and Daenerys, Aegon is one of the last surviving scions of House Targaryen. Gifted with powers that drew the attention of his grandfather, Aegon stood apart from his siblings from childhood. Tragedy followed quickly after his birth. His grandmother, Queen Rhaella, perished in childbirth with Daenerys when Aegon was only two years old. Three years later, his mother, Elia, died giving birth to Orys when Aegon was six, and only four months later, Robert's Rebellion began and swept away what remained of his family's reign-Rhaegar slain at the Trident, King Aerys struck down in the Red Keep, and the Targaryen dynasty shattered. Orphaned and hunted, Aegon, his siblings, aunt, and uncle were forced into exile. They were sheltered and raised in Essos under Prince Lewyn Martell, Ser Willem Darry, and their kin of the cadet Brightflame line, descendants of Prince Daeron "the Drunken," and Prince Aerion "Aerion Brightflame" Targaryen, in Braavos. In the house with the red door, Aegon grew into leadership, often clashing with his volatile uncle Viserys while finding love and strength in his bond with Daenerys. At sixteen, he wed her, fulfilling an ancient Targaryen custom, and the two welcomed a son, Jaehaerys, in 293 AC. For thirteen years, Aegon lived in exile, the reluctant head of his fractured house, trying to hold together a family burdened with both prophecy and pride. Yet destiny does not allow dragons to sleep forever. When a Pentoshi magister named Illyrio Mopatis offers them sanctuary, the course of history begins to shift once more. The dragon prince who should have been king now faces the world that took his birthright. But will fire and blood restore the throne-or consume him first?

Now, betrothed to Robb Stark-the cold-eyed Wolf of the North she's loathed since childhood-Elowyn is thrust into a game she never asked to play. But the game has always been in her blood. As war brews, loyalties fracture, and dragons stir in distant lands, Elowyn must walk a blade's edge between who she is and who the world believes her to be.
