Summary
The Dance of the Dragons was a term used to describe the three years between the reign of Viserys I and Rhaenyra I, after Viserys the butcher killed his first wife, the princess married Prince Daemon, the king’s younger brother and lord paramount of the narrow seas, after she found the king with her former handmaiden, Alicent Hightower.
However Otto Hightower should have known that he was not the only one who could send a daughter to ensnare the king, for Cassandra was even more charming than his daughter.
When Alicent and Cassandra both have sons born on the same day, the realm holds its breath. Their sons Aemond the Terrible and Aenar the fool set the realm on fire trying to wear their father’s crown.
In the end, the black queen wins the throne that two families kill each other for. Queen Rhaenyra rises from the ashes of House Hightower and House Baratheon
