Selena Caron was a twenty one years old pleasant young woman, nothing like the evil stepmother trope in the books Miko’s publishing house released. She was gentle, outspoken, and dutiful, a stark contrast to her older brother, Garrin, with his haughtiness.
Her new stepmother approached...

There was a foreboding feeling inside the tower from the very first step he took. The walls, the shadows, and even the ground felt oppressive for some reason, but that wouldn’t stop him.
Something, probably the thing haunting his dreams, had blown a hole twenty feet wide from deep in the ground to the upper levels of the tower, exposing stairs spiral...

The aftermath of Orm’s coup required cleanup, which the Justice League had volunteered for. Soldiers had been taken to dungeons, awaiting trial, while the masterminds behind the coup, Prince Orm and General Brak, had been brought before the King of Atlantis so justice could be rendered.
“Prince Orm, General Brak, you have betrayed your vows, your king, ...

The town was celebrating, for the news of King Argilac’s victory over King Garse had reached them. The messenger described the battle in great detail, how a storm had plagued the Reach host, and how King Argilac had slain King Garse in a duel of epic proportions.
Ei had seen it first h...

The scene outside was chaotic. Claire had captured someone, keeping the person on the ground with the threat of her flames, while there was a rocket launcher next to him and a crater left on the road.
Security forces surrounded them while cordoning off the area, demanding both to stand down.
"Claire?" Miles asked; he knew what was happening but want...

Robert watched as the remaining parasites, for whatever reason, did not fall for his trap, standing at the edge of the broken bridge and refusing to attack him, as if smart enough to be aware of the trap.
Taking his bow, Robert notched an arrow and fired, nailing one of the bastards right in its slimy little head, skills honed after countless hours of traini...

As Robert expected, the chocolate business was slow, with only the Hightowers via Elia willing to buy, both for themselves and to send as gifts.
But he wasn’t selling food; he was selling prestige and a sign of wealth. It would just need some more time to work.
He was occu...

The manager, one Anthony Laster, invited Miles and Claire into his office to discuss business. The duo sat on the leather seats while the branch manager took his seat at his desk.

Robert landed the dragons on a square a mile away from the tower and checked the area. The dragons were restless, as expected, and so was he, but there was no movement he could hear around them.
In fact it was too silent, he thought, even for a city with nothing living left in it; hell, there wasn’t even any wind.
Robert dismounted, unsheathing...

Robert did not know what he was going to face at Valyria exactly, but he was going to face it, no matter what.
His journey would be in two steps: first he was going to land and camp at an uninhabited island off the coast of Volantis, and then make his way to the ruins of Valyria.
Flying over the Stepstones, Robert examined the destruction he had wro...

Battle of Summerfield
Argilac leaped like the great stag depicted in his sigil, striking fast as if he were lightning given form, and Garse could only react by raising his sword to block, and a deafening clang rang out.
The Storm King pulled back and struck again, just as fast and strong, and again, ...

“At the end of 54 AC, Princess Aerea claimed Balerion and flew away from Dragonstone without telling anyone. More than a year later she returned, malnourished and sickly.

Robert kept waking up through the night, the voice getting more and more insistent and louder whenever he tried to sleep.
Come morning he was tired and didn’t want to stay on Stepstones any longer. He broke camp, mounted his dragon, and took off. Whatever it was calling him to Valyria, he wasn’t going.
He remembered about that Targaryen pr...
