𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 2
King Viserys the Peaceful has taken his final breath, leaving a realm poised on the edge of chaos. His last whispered words to Queen Alicent, if they are to be believed, named his firstborn son, Aegon, as his successor after twentyseven long years. And so, King Aegon II now sits upon the Iron Throne with his wife, Queen Alyssa, at his side. But peace has died along with the old King, and House Targaryen teeters on the brink of an earth-shattering war that will leave scars upon the annals of history.
For Queen Alyssa, this is not the life she envisioned. The dream of escaping across the Narrow Sea with the love of her life, far from the cutthroat politics and betrayals of court, is now nothing more than ashes in the wind. She finds herself trapped in a reality she cannot escape-a queen in a realm divided, her heart torn between loyalty to her husband and the unyielding call of her mother's claim to the throne.
Every day brings new uncertainty, and the weight of the crown hangs heavy on her head. Will she stand by Aegon, as his wife and queen, through the bloody war? Or will she defy him and fight for the legacy her mother, Rhaenyra, was denied, as well as her own?
And if so, what would be able to change her mind?

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: This is Book 2 of a three-part series and follows Aegon and Alyssa as King and Queen during the tumultuous Dance of the Dragons. It will contain torture, adult content, death, attempted murder, incest and so on.
If you haven't read Book 1, A Story for History, I recommend starting there to understand their journey and how their love grew amidst chaos.
