Following the death of King Viserys I Targaryen, the realm is thrown into chaos when Queen Alicent Hightower and her supporters crown her son, Aegon II Targaryen, as king despite Viserys having named his daughter, Rhaenyra Targaryen, his rightful heir years before. The kingdom quickly divides into two factions: the Blacks, who support Rhaenyra’s claim, and the Greens, who support Aegon II. Leading the Blacks from Dragonstone are Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and her husband, Prince Daemon Targaryen. Standing beside them are Rhaenyra’s sons—Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey Velaryon—as well as Daemon’s daughters, Baela and Rhaena Targaryen. Also among their ranks is Princess Josephine Targaryen, Daemon’s only daughter, whose arranged betrothal to Prince Jacaerys Velaryon was meant to strengthen the family’s claim and unite the next generation of House Targaryen. Supporting the Blacks are Lord Corlys Velaryon, known as the Sea Snake, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, and several powerful houses loyal to Rhaenyra. Most importantly, they possess a formidable number of dragons, including Caraxes, Syrax, Meleys, Vermax, Moondancer, and more. Opposing them are the Greens, ruling from King’s Landing under King Aegon II Targaryen. His strongest supporters include Queen Alicent Hightower, Ser Otto Hightower, Ser Criston Cole, Prince Daeron Targaryen, and most dangerously, Prince Aemond Targaryen, rider of the mighty Vhagar—the largest and most powerful dragon alive. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, what begins as a dispute over succession becomes a devastating civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Dragons will battle dragons, families will be torn apart, and the future of House Targaryen will hang in the balance. At the center of it all are Princess Josephine Targaryen and Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, bound together by an arranged marriage designed to strengthen a kingdom that may not survive the war to come.
