The Bastard Son Synopsis: He was born of frost, raised in silence, and bound to a family that would never call him son. Kaelen Vaylen is the bastard child of Lord Ceyric of Frosthall—trained in sword and shadow, but never meant to inherit. While his noble siblings prepare for marriage, politics, and legacy, Kaelen walks the cold edges of the North with only his bond-beast, a silent black Shadowmane, for company. But when the High King of Vaerenth rides north to seal an alliance through marriage, old oaths stir beneath the ice—and Kaelen finds himself at the center of a storm centuries in the making. Whispers rise from beyond the Wraithspine Mountains. The dead are walking. And at the heart of it all is a frozen crown no man dares wear. A bastard has no claim to power. But power may yet claim him. ---

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.
