Summary
A mere five years after the Night King was defeated and Daenerys Targaryen burned King's Landing, the Others are stirring once more, and the Six Kingdoms are breaking apart amidst power struggles after Bran Stark abdicated to fight the true enemy.
On the first anniversary of the Others' return, Queen Sansa Stark, filled with despair and self-loathing, is drinking in the Godswood. There, she mocks her own younger self by wishing on a star: May a golden prince on a fiery steed come and save her.
Nearly 200 years earlier, King Aegon II Targaryen battles the dragon Meleys above Rook's Rest... until his own brother Aemond's flame engulfes him just as a shooting star falls from the sky.
The Old Gods are angered by an insincere wish voiced in a holy place - and they might just give you what you asked for...

Summary
After the battle at Rook’s Rest all Gwayne wants is you. Hopefully longing just like he is and cherishing his safe return. And yet he is met with an absence that makes his breath hitch and grim remarks he does not appreciate.
Despite being a lord and a noble knight he is also nothing but a man, and how long can a man go without the comforting presence of his wife? And especially a wife who is worth worshipping, every battle and every whispered word of blasphemy? -

Summary
“You said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”
— Emily Bronte, "Wuthering Heights"In a final effort to end the seemingly interminable bloodshed of the Dance, Prince Aemond Targaryen is turned in by the grandfather he always trusted and the brother he never did. A wager at peace, they say, his head offered to the Black Queen in an attempt to atone for the murder of her son.
He did not expect the dead Strong’s sister to play executioner.

Summary
She then pressed the blade, Aemond screaming as that familiar pain pierced his nerves. His remaining eye splitting open. Blood coating the socket. Mouth opening wide as a wail, sounding like an animal being slaughtered, escaped his throat. His remaining vision met with complete darkness.
“Deep down, you never want to be that helpless little boy again.” Rhaenyra whispered in his ear, as the blade sliced through his throat.
-----------
During his stay at Harrenhal, Aemond is forced to confront his inner world, shoved into the deep recesses of his mind. Forced to face his demons.
As he starts questioning everything, he is faced with a choice. To either remain shackled by duty. Or, to finally give in to his innermost desires.

Summary
Despite the thorough work of many maesters, the annals of history lose track of King Aegon Targaryen, second of his name, around the time he fled King's Landing and his elder sister took the city. The year that followed was filled with bloodshed and dragon fire and a realm that tore itself apart. But while the Targaryen family battled to the death, the eldest son of the late King Viserys was uninvolved and believed to be dead until reemerging to defeat his remaining rivals and reclaim his father's throne.
The king's year of anonymity was his most joyous and formative. Until now, no one knew where the king went and what he did.
After fleeing to Essos at the insistence of Lord Larys, King Aegon managed to find an unlikely companion in a merchant's daughter and gained a new lease on life.

Summary
"Aemond lies down and turns onto his side to face his brother. It almost feels like they’re children again, side-by-side in the middle of a too-large bed, a warm, safe place in a cold castle with cold parents. He longs to feel that way again, but now that he is finally here alone with Aegon, the truth of it all settles on him: they are at war and Aegon nearly died. Though he would never admit it, he is afraid."
A series of moments in the days and weeks following Rook's Rest.

“You still feel guilty… don’t you?” She speaks, low and comfortable, her tongue flattening into her O’s.

Eyelids low, she wipes her blade one last time before equipping it gently—with practiced technique. “About Aegon, I mean.”

Alys carves the guilt from Aemond's body.
