The Dance of the Dragons tears the realm apart, a civil war of blood and fire. House Targaryen, bearing Velaryon blood, commands dragons—ancient beasts capable of ash. Yet, as Queen Rhaenyra warns, without them, they are mortal. This truth drives Jacaerys to the North. Snow crunches under his boots; the wind bites through furs and dark cape. He seeks Cregan Stark, Lord of Winterfell, to renew oaths sworn to the Seven and Old Gods. His mother’s crown hangs on this alliance. Defying tradition, they meet atop the Wall—a barrier of ice and sorcery, mythic to Southerners. Jacaerys tightens his black cloak against the gale, ascending the stairs. Below, in the white void, his dragon Vermax waits, an emerald spark in the cold.
