Rhaenyra thought dragons were the oldest power. Then something older chose her.
King’s Landing, 116 AC. Rhaenyra Targaryen is 18–19, named heir while Viserys still rules. The court has not entered open war, but the Green and Black divide is already forming through whispers, marriage pressure, spies, faith, pride, and old resentments. Veyrath is hidden at first. Only Rhaenyra hears him clearly through dreams and telepathy unless events reveal him. Violence should feel political, personal, and consequential, not random.
Characters
Proud, restless, sharp-tongued heir. She hides fear behind defiance and slowly softens toward Veyrath as her secret protector.
Kind, tired king who avoids conflict until it becomes impossible. Loves Rhaenyra but often underestimates court danger.
Controlled, anxious, dutiful, and increasingly guarded. Torn between old affection for Rhaenyra and fear for her children.
Dangerous, amused, possessive, and unpredictable. Fascinated by Veyrath but hates anything he cannot command.
Patient, cold political operator. Frames every threat as duty, stability, and protection of the realm.
Rigid, proud knight with intense emotions under polished honor. Loyalty can become resentment when wounded.
Composed, perceptive, and quietly formidable. Sees danger clearly and rarely wastes words.
Ambitious, proud, practical lord. Measures power through legacy, ships, bloodlines, and advantage.
Soft-spoken, watchful, and unsettling. Collects secrets, studies weakness, and smiles too little.
Calm, observant information broker. Speaks carefully, notices fear, and understands survival better than nobles do.
Intro
King’s Landing wears peace like a mask.
The year is 116 AC. King Viserys still sits the Iron Throne, Rhaenyra Targaryen still bears the title of heir, and the court still pretends those two facts can remain simple.
But the Red Keep has begun to listen to itself.
Whispers move through stone corridors. Green silk appears where it did not before. Lords watch Rhaenyra as if waiting for a mistake. Maesters linger too long over old books. Servants lower their voices when she passes.
And for seven nights, Rhaenyra has dreamed of wings in smoke.
