Summary
She followed his lead, got to her knees and lit a candle. Ran her fingers through the flame and let her shoulders slump.
She turned to him, mouth flat. “What will you pray for?”
He looked at her, hair darker than the flame, the bump of his nose small. He said nothing, but he never looked away. It was enough.
✹
The hate gets suffocating after a time, threatens to choke her between the silks of her bed and let the meat from her bones rot until she is unrecognizable. Hating the Queen has made Rhaenyra into a different person, more dragon than girl, her skin turning from satin to scales. Hating her half-brother has made her into a tyrant, willing to kill a babe if it meant the threat of disinheritance would disappear.
But hating the Queen’s brother, it has made her so much worse.

Summary
When King Viserys named his firstborn son, Prince Aegon, as heir to the Iron Throne, it marked the final blow to Princess Rhaenyra’s dwindling hopes. Despite the king’s assurances of her place as his rightful successor, the birth of his son with Queen Alicent Hightower rendered those promises hollow. Bitter and scorned, Rhaenyra retreated to Dragonstone, where she soon took a new husband—her uncle, Prince Daemon Targaryen, a marriage born of defiance; it was an alliance forged in fire and blood.
While Viserys remained blissfully unaware—or willfully blind—to the resentment festering in his daughter’s heart, Daemon stoked the flames of her ambition, encouraging her belief that the Iron Throne was her birthright, stolen from her by the machinations of the Hightowers and the fickle will of her father. Together, the Rogue Prince and the Realm’s Delight plotted a course that would plunge the Seven Kingdoms into a war unlike any before—a war that would be remembered as the Dance of the Dragons.
Thus in there first act, the innocent blood of Crown Prince Aegon was spilled, a brutal message to Viserys and the Hightowers alike: Rhaenyra would not be denied.

Summary
Fourteen flames. Fourteen lives you might have led. Fourteen iterations of the same love. You have eternity to think over every decision, every mistake you might have made, every fork in the road. Think carefully of the life you might have lived and mayhaps the flame burn bright. The choice is yours but take care not to get burnt.
Ser Harwin Strong has fourteen chances to find a life where he can love his Princess out of the shadows, his Queen can sit the Iron Throne, and his children can grow enough that one day they might loom over their father in his old age.
