    Summary

    The thing is, she remembers him.

    This hulking shadow in the frame of the doorway. A big, dusty duffle bag next to big, dusty, heavy boots.

    A thick, silver ring, clinking against the neck of a beer bottle.

    That’s all she can think about when they say his name the first time in the warm office of the group home. Just that clink of his ring against a brown bottle in the hazy blue glow of the TV. A droning laugh-track and her parents' laughter mixing in. His eyes sometimes, sliding to her, sitting in the hallway and peeking in.

    She can’t remember him ever laughing.

    Your father’s brother, Miss Andrea said. Logan.

    Did you know about him?

     

    Clink clink.

    Summary

    “Rhaenyra,” Alicent chides gently, directing her concern at her luggage. “This all seems so sudden.”

    To Alicent, it is, but Rhaenyra has been planning this day for the last five years. In her worst drug-fueled fever dreams, she has imagined her revenge in a million different ways, and the montage of her favorite fantasies, carried inside her mind at this very moment, guides her toward the dresser.

    In the top drawer, she finds the hard case amongst her bras and panties. Alicent repeats her name, but Rhaenyra ignores her and undoes the clasps. Carefully, she unwraps the bundle, removing the black oiled cloth, revealing something blacker, heavier, deadlier. At the sight of Blackfyre, her pulse slows to a pleased pace, the lethal heft of it an indulgence she rarely offers herself. It is a special occasion. It will have its last meal soon.

    -

    Five years after her family's massacre, Rhaenyra returns to her hometown to get her revenge on the person responsible. With the help of Otto Hightower, her father's disgraced former lawyer, and Harwin Strong, an ex-con who took the fall, she infiltrates her late father's former gang, planning to take down the new leader, her uncle Daemon.
