   Summary

   Joffrey Baratheon is a hot-headed, arrogant, cruel prince, believing Westeros his birthright by blood and conquest.
   His father: the conqueror who toppled the dragons. His mother: the daughter of the richest lord in the world. The gods could not have crafted a more suitable king.

   That was what he had believed, at least, until the truth crashed into him like a mighty wave, renting his life apart.
   This story explores a slightly different Joffrey, one where he knows the truth. No longer is he Joffrey Baratheon, heir to the Iron Throne; now, he is Joffrey Waters, a bastard born of incest desperate to survive.
