The Doom of House Targaryen | When Dragons Turned Against Dragons

It began with a dying king who could not stop loving both of his families. Viserys I was not a warrior or a conqueror — he was a generous, round-faced man who loved his daughter and loved his second wife and loved the sons she gave him, and he died having never chosen between them, leaving the choosing to everyone else. What everyone else did with the choosing is the Dance of the Dragons. The Green council meeting in Alicent’s apartments the night Viserys died, and the old man who said the word treason and did not survive the meeting. The coronation at the Dragonpit. The crown placed on Rhaenyra’s head on Dragonstone as the stillborn daughter she named Visenya was still warm. The storm over Shipbreaker Bay and what Aemond did in it and what it cost. Blood and Cheese in the apartment and the choice Helaena was made to make. Rook’s Rest — the trap, and the Red Queen, and the woman who did not run when she could have. The Gods Eye, and two men who had been moving toward each other for the whole war, and the dragons that fell into the lake with them. The Dragonpit storming. The throne that cut. The queen who sold her crown for a ship. Seventeen dragons. Two years. The doom came from inside the house.
