Summary

Summary
It had been three centuries since the gifts first appeared in England nay the world, and in that span of time they had been transformed from curiosities whispered of in alleyways to fixtures of polite society. The ton had learned to measure them as carefully as fortunes, bloodlines, and beauty.
A useful gift, if it left the body unblemished, was as valuable as a large dowry. A lady whose hands could coax roses to bloom even in January might secure a match above her station. A gentleman whose stamina was beyond compare might command respect in both Parliament and the hunting field. A child born with a knack for coaxing color into fabric could make a family fortune in trade.
But society’s admiration had its limits. Beauty was always the measure. A gift that scarred the flesh, twisted the body, or marked one too visibly as “other” was considered no blessing at all. Such gifts were whispered of as deformities, proof of God’s displeasure, a curse upon the house. It was not enough to be powerful; one must be pleasing.

Summary
Rhaenyra was never meant to claim the Iron Throne. The realm, forged in fire and fear, would never bow to a queen. The gods knew this, and so they sent her dreams, not as omens of surrender but as echoes of another fate. She would not fall to her brother’s flame.
Instead, she would rise beyond ruin, unbound by prophecy or patriarchy, and carve a new path through time itself. In her defiance, fire would meet frost, dragons would dance with wolves. Through unity, not conquest, she would forge the realm anew, tempered and ready for the shadow creeping from the far North.

Summary
More than a century after his fiery death above the Gods Eye, Daemon Targaryen's end was not an end at all. He is awakened from a timeless void as a spectral shadow, a wraith of vengeance and memory, forced to witness the complete history of his dynasty's ruin and the rise of the Usurper, Robert Baratheon.
Forsaking the selfish ambitions that defined his life, the Rogue Prince embraces a new, silent purpose, as he follows a corrupt king to Winterfell to begin his deadly watch over the last dragons.
