“Then the storm broke, and the dragons danced.”

“A ruler needs a good head and a true heart,” she famously told the king. “A cock is not essential.”

“When the gods are silent, lords and kings will make themselves heard.”

“Aegon had made the seven kingdoms one with fire and blood.”

“Dorne has danced with dragons before,” he said. “I would sooner sleep with scorpions.”

Admitted through a postern gate by a treacherous servant, the Wyl attackers slew Lord Oakheart and most of the wedding guests, then made the bride look on as they gelded her husband.
