Scions of the Cruel King

Upon Aegon's death, Aenys ascended the throne, but his weakness incited a rebellion by the Faith. Maegor, driven by revenge for Eleana's murder, crushed the revolts ruthlessly. After Aenys died under suspicious circumstances, Maegor seized the throne. Despite his efforts to secure the realm, Maegor's reign ended in 48 A.L., with the Faith still a significant threat. The story begins in 56 A.L. Jaehaerys Targaryen, Aenys I's son, serves as regent for his cousin Vaegyl, Maegor's son. The realm is fraught with rebellion, and Jaehaerys and the small council, including Gerold Westerling, must navigate treacherous political waters. Unbeknownst to them, Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister plot to place Westerling's grandson Aegon on the Iron Throne. As Vaegyl approaches manhood, the struggle for the Iron Throne intensifies. Loyalties are tested, secrets revealed, and Maegor the Cruel's legacy looms large over the Targaryen dynasty.
