Blood of the sky - an alternate history of house Targaryen

BLOOD OF THE SKY

Nineteen-year-old Mikerys Lannister has spent his entire life believing he is nothing more than an unwanted son of the Westerlands. Raised in obscurity by his dying mother, Lady Jeyne Lannister, he has inherited little beyond a sharp tongue, a proud temper, and the certainty that he will never truly belong among the great houses of Westeros.

But on her deathbed, Jeyne leaves him with one final secret:

The blood in your veins does not belong to the lions. It belongs to the sky.

Driven by the mystery of his parentage, Mikerys travels to King's Landing—only to be met by kneeling smallfolk, a royal dragon, and a Targaryen prince who recognizes the truth before Mikerys does.

He is a dragonseed.

Hidden for nineteen years, Mikerys carries the blood of House Targaryen in his veins—and his arrival threatens to disturb a royal family already fractured by the scars of the Dance of the Dragons.

As Mikerys is drawn into the world of his newly discovered kin, he finds himself surrounded by dragons, rival princes, rebellious princesses, and a dynasty struggling to preserve the last remnants of its former glory. Yet the dragons that once made House Targaryen invincible are disappearing, and the great Dragonpit stands as a haunting monument to a family that nearly destroyed itself.

Then, on a night of blood and bronze, King Baelor dies by poison.

Prince Aemon the Dragonknight falls from the sky.

And behind the mourning of the royal court, Mikerys discovers a far darker truth: the Hand of the King has been waiting for this moment.

With the Iron Throne suddenly within reach, Viserys Targaryen begins moving to seize the crown, while his son Aegon becomes the heir to a kingdom built upon murder and deception.

Mikerys now faces an impossible choice.

Return to the West and remain the Lannister he always believed himself to be—

or embrace the blood of the dragon and become a player in a war for the Iron Throne.

Because in Westeros, blood may give you a claim.

But only power can keep you alive.
