Well, This'll Be Hard to Keep Secret . . .
In an alt universe where Duncan, not Jaehaerys, was absent from Summerhall and where Roger Reyne successfully humiliated the Golden Lion, Roland Reyne finds himself stricken with grief after the passing of his soulmate, the beautiful Alys Sprinkeep. The two met in childhood and fell deeply in love, but complications in childbirth saw the Stranger take her early. Stricken with intense grief, Roland, spymaster of the Iron Throne, found forbidden solace in Queen Daenerys 'Brightflame', whose friendly but loveless marriage bored her. How long can the affair remain a secret when Prince Duncan, second in line to the Iron Throne, sports fiery red hair instead of Targaryan white? Will the Westerlands fall to bitter civil war amongst five red lions on Roland's passing due to his inattentiveness to the realm caused by his new love? What will King Baelon 'the Red Dragon' do when he discovers his lineage is compromised? Will the realm strike down these upstart lions, or will they continue to rise to ever greater heights?
