   Summary

   A queen without a consort. A mother of six, now a mother of one. A dragonlord without a dragon.

   But curse all the gods if she is to be known as the "Half-Year Queen". Curse them all.

   Aegon The Second and his dragon perish from their wounds before Rhaenyra reaches Dragonstone. Not that it makes her "victory" any less bittersweet.
