    Summary

    There are many ways to lose oneself.

    All access to her children has been stopped up—she is permitted to visit with them, in the time between morning and noon, and the hours between dusk and night’s gloom.

    The constrictions have left her wanting, contorting her into a greedy thing, as she hungrily presses kisses to her brood, holding them tight, tight, tight until Maelor beings to cry and Jaehaera lets out a yelp of, “Mother, you’re hurting me,” and even Jaehaerys, so quick to laugh, begins to weep as well, for he knows what this heralds.

    Each night Helaena tries to impress their looks into her mind: the curve of Jaehaerys’s cheek, Maelor’s dimple, Jaehaera’s tremulous laugh.

    Often, she returns from them with a thirst for wine, and takes to her bed with a stumbling gait. Often, she reaches for poppy milk, oblivion.

    But sometimes it is sweet sleep she takes onto her tongue—readily supplied by Maester Gerardys, for her faculties are not required of her—and floats gently down into nothingness. There are many ways to lose oneself, and none so sweet as building a shield against reality.

    Summary


    Arya was annoying and boyish and an embarrassment half the time, and Sansa had twice confessed in the sept that she wished she had a different sister, someone sweet and trusting and girlish, but seeing her alive now, Sansa had never loved her more.

    Summary

    'Now she clung to Aegon with a strength that belied her frail state as Ser Criston and his sworn brothers lifted her son’s body gently onto the pyre that would reduce him down to blackened bones and steaming marrow, to ash, memory, heartache and finally, indefatigable myth'.

    In the wake of Prince Aemond's death, Aegon spirals into grief and reforges himself for the sake of what family remains to him. Boy becomes man.

    The sequel to 'A Thousand Cuts Until Insanity'.

    Summary

    'Say to the court, it glows
    And shines like rotten wood;
    Say to the church, it shows
    What’s good, and doth no good.
    If church and court reply,
    Then give them both the lie.

    Tell potentates, they live
    Acting by others’ action;
    Not loved unless they give,
    Not strong but by a faction.
    If potentates reply,
    Give potentates the lie.'

    After two years in Oldtown, Ser Aethan Velaryon returns home, only to find all is not as it seems—his brother’s marriage to Princess Rhaenyra is a sham, and his father's decisions have his family teetering on the edge of mutiny. When his wife gives birth to a silver-haired son, Aethan realises what’s truly at stake.

    Lady Lynesse Hightower followed her husband back to Driftmark, and is displeased by what she finds. As Otto Hightower’s daughter, she has always had ambitions, and now with nephews in the line of succession and a son whose silver hair gives the lie to a princess’s deception, Lynesse is ready to realise them.

    But court is a treacherous place, where southron lords breed their conspiracies and honour weighs a man down. Can Aethan and Lynesse elevate their kin or will they fail at the great game?
