In the annals of history. The Elysium family once reigned supreme, their legacy akin to the majestic flight of a phoenix. Seated upon the rays of glory, a position of power and prestige was a deadly invitation for ambitious and covetous enemies. Their rivals sought to usurp their throne, exploiting their weaknesses and as time unfurled its tapestry---the pillars of their prestige began to crumble, casting shadows upon their once radiant legacy. Throughout the ages, the Elysium name has been but a whisper in the winds of time, silenced by the collective might of the nine esteemed families. They conspired, ensuring the once soaring Elysium lineage would forever be grounded, a phoenix denied its rightful ascent. The remnants of the Elysium surname clung to existence, a meager family of five barely eking out a living. Yet admist the struggle, the eldest son dared to dream-- Harboring a fervent ambition to resurrect the embers of their lost glory, yearning to bestow upon their name once more the wings to soar. On a stormy and dark night, the family of five was cruelly reduced. Their lives snuffed out without mercy or remorse. Leaving behind the middle and youngest child to deal with the burden of their family's lineage and the particular unquenchable flames of vengeance.

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
