    Summary

    If Gwayne could not pull Daeron onto a horse and ride away today, if he could not shield him from the war waiting outside these walls, he could at least refuse to let the boy watch him crawl.

    //

    Gwayne arrives in Tumbleton weak, broken, and desperate to return home. As he begins to see the extent of Ormund’s control over Daeron, he's forced to confront the scars leftover from his own youth and what it means to hold love over duty.

    Summary

    "You could do it."

    They both know it is an impossible fancy. That Gwayne should knight Daeron, that he should change or leave a mark upon him of any sort at all. Ormund will never allow it. That is a prerogative reserved solely for himself.

    The man has staked a claim in Daeron’s life, a life which is now carefully managed so that the Lord of the Hightower may be the cornerstone in every decisive moment — indeed, practically every thought that enters Daeron’s head. They march, the three of them, according to Ormund’s vision, Ormund’s plan. Even if it is toward ruin. However much he loves the boy, Gwayne will only ever be at best a visitor and at worst, an interloper in that plan.

    The summer he turns ten-and-six, standing at the precipice of manhood, Daeron finds himself drawn into a strange pas de deux with his uncle. As Gwayne tries and fails to keep them both above water, the rules that have governed their relationship begin to unravel — very slowly, then all at once.

    At the rotten core of it all is Ormund.

    Summary

    It seems the gods have, in the most miraculous and unexpected of ways, responded to his earnest and grave pleas; they have decided to put Prince Daeron Targaryen in his path and it is a providence he dares not deny. It is clear to him the prince needs salvation: an upright and true man of the faith to shape and guide him.

    *

    Or, the queen never sends Prince Daeron Targaryen to ward in Oldtown. Instead, he grows up in King's Landing as a Targaryen, Alicent's fourth, the third son, the spare of the spare to the heir. Ormund Hightower still manages to set his sights on him when he is invited to King's Landing for the king's name-day.
