   Summary

   After Aemma is found dead beneath her chamber window, King Baelon realises that even if her death was a suicide, Viserys was at fault for the way he treated her. The king makes a powerful decision that causes a rift between Viserys and his eldest daughter, the Princess Rhaenyra, who has now become the heir to the Iron Throne.

   Rhea and Daemon will have to work hard to navigate this turn of events, especially when their eldest son is chosen to be the heir’s consort. They must ensure Rhaenyra’s successful ascension. For the memory of Aemma and for the good of the realm. The Long Night needs dragons and a Targaryen must always sit the Iron Throne.
