   Summary

   After an ancient mark from Old Valyria appears on Lucerys’ body a mark that grants him the ability to bear children the king issues a royal decree: in a desperate attempt to preserve the royal line and prevent the family from tearing itself apart, the young prince must marry the man he once irrevocably wounded — his uncle, Aemond.

   Caught between hatred and duty, in a web of politics, pain, and Valyrian tradition, the relationship between Lucerys and Aemond becomes a subject of speculation and controversy. Whether it's a tragedy or something far more complicated depends entirely on who’s telling the story.
