    Summary

    After turning down his father’s request that he stay and serve in Kings Landing, Aemon Targaryen does not go to Dragonstone to serve his oldest brother as Maester. Instead, he heads to Winterfell to serve House Stark taking himself as far away from Kings Landing as possible with no plan to ever return despite the pain it causes him.

    He grows to love House Stark over the sixty years he serves them. But he never forgets House Targaryen and he watches their rise and fall closely. Within a year of 282 AC, Rickard, Brandon, Rhaegar, Rhaenys and Aegon are all dead and he is the last Targaryen in Westeros. Riddled with guilt, he resigns himself to the fact that he has managed to fail not only House Targaryen but also House Stark.

    Then Ned Stark returns from Dorne with Jon Snow.

    Summary

    Magic is dying, and the world no longer remembers how to fear the dark.

    During a most normal day, Jon Snow disappears on a hunt and meets a god in the depths of a forgotten cave. Balerion, Valyrian God of Death, claims him as the Progenitor—the first vampire of a reborn age. Jon returns changed, bound to a divine will that demands secrecy, dominion, and patience.

    When the Ironborns sack Winterfell and a wolf is slain, Jon steps from the shadows at last. Rising from bastard to Lord Protector of the Realm, he becomes the unseen hand behind the crown, letting kings rule as hollow puppets while he restores magic through blood and night. Vampires return to the world, not as myths, but as weapons and heirs.

    At Jon’s side stand those bound to him by loyalty, love, and desire—Rhaenys Targaryen, who shared his childhood in Winterfell; Daenerys Targaryen, fire given flesh; Arianne Martell; the passion warming a dying heart, and Margaery Tyrell, unafraid to bargain with monsters. Their affections intertwine with ambition, even as Jon’s heart grows colder and his hunger sharper.

    As centuries begin to outweigh years, Jon must choose what remains of the man he was… and what kind of god he is becoming.

    Summary

    This is not a Song of Ice and Fire.
    This is not a tale of fallen leaves.

    This is the story of a stolen dragon, who rose to become Elden Lord.

    After ten years of mistreatment in Winterfell, Jon Snow fled the castle with his direwolf. During a snow storm unlike any other, the Greater Will took him into the Lands Between, where he had no other choice but to strike a deal with Melina for survival.

    For ten years, he fought and bested his enemies, until he stood before the restored shape of Queen Marika the Eternal, as she crowned him Elden Lord.

    For fifty years, his rule was quiet and calm. But when ships from Essos arrive in the harbor of Leyndell, Jon knows that it is only a matter of time before the vultures gather.

    As Westeros learns it is no longer the main center of the world, and their greed awakens from slumber, the Seven Kingdoms prepared to act towards this new realm. Friend or foe ?

    And in the Lands Between, the Elden Lord must now stand as the shied between his realm, and his birthplace. But when dragons, wolves, ice and fire are all he can dream of, the lines between truth and lies blur.
