Before her, Cayla st...

Aegon stood beside his table, bent slightly over a parchment. The candlelight reflected in his silver-gold hair. The journey to Winterfell would be long, even by dragonback. He had mapped the stops...

Aegon sat for a while, studying it in the lamplight, the dark purple edges glimmering faintly. The crystal was small, no larger than a walnut, yet his spirituality reacted as if he were holding a v...

Chapter 57 Poison

The palace of the Sealord was a place of splendor. Its walls were pale marble veined with silver-grey, and its high windows caught the moonlight off the lagoon.

The Sealord of Braavos sat in ...

Ser Clement stabbed down three or four times, each thrust a dull thud against burnt flesh. The sound was faint but sickening, and it carried through the stunned silence of the hall. The re...
