Summary
Rhaenyra has had just about enough of her cousin Laena setting her up on blind dates with her friends.
The latest of them, a date with one of Laena’s University friends Alicent, certainly won’t be any different to the others.
Will it?

Summary
Helaena wakes up crying at twenty past three, the sound thin and piercing, cutting cleanly through the darkness of the house like a bird’s call.
Alicent squeezes her eyes shut. She tells herself that Helaena is only a toddler, that she doesn’t know anything, that she needs her mothers, that this is normal, that this is the price of love and the proof of it and not a feat worth challenging Sisyphus over. That it isn’t something she should begrudge her.

Summary
The Blacks have won and the council wants Rhaenyra wed. She could take a Lannister, or a Baratheon, some sensible girl with gold behind her. Instead she decides to channel Aegon the Conqueror and take two wives — for political reasons, of course. Alicent, the intended first wife, disagrees.

Summary
Helaena thinks of the horrors to come. There is no place for her when the dragons dance, not Helaena who has no appetite for blood and retribution unlike Aemond. There is no place for her, nor her children yet to come. It should stay that way, rings through Helaena's mind like the heavy chiming of bells as she makes her way to the window. When she reaches the alcove bathed only in moonlight, she presses her hand flat against the windowpane. She holds it there for a moment and thinks of Jaehaerys and Jaehaera and Maelor who need not be dragged into this world just to die bloody and alone. She thinks of rats and dead dragons and unrelenting mobs and knows, intrinsically, that she will never know peace. Her children, yet to be born, will never know peace, not unless she makes it. Helaena opens the window.
OR
Helaena knows what is coming, but in a turn of events, she is betrothed to Jacaerys. Will Helaena finally learn to live, or will Jace help drive her further off the edge?
