   Summary

   After the wedding of Lady Alicent Hightower and King Viserys I, Princess Rhaenyra must navigate her place in the Realm as she searches for friendship, protection, and love.

   An epic love story and re-imagining of the HoD series. Fixing what I did not like and adding lots of what I do like to give Rhaenyra Targaryen and Harwin Strong the HEA they deserved.
