Summary
King Aerys II was no madman, but a man of calculation, a king who understood that power was a blade to be wielded with precision.
His forebears had ruled with fire and blood, but the dragons were gone. Without them, Targaryens needed a different strategy. Strength alone would not keep the throne secure—marriage alliances would. Two of his three children were now spoken for, their futures dictated by the crown’s needs.
His heir, Rhaegar, would be wed on the morrow to Cersei Lannister, the only daughter of his Hand, Lord Tywin. His middle child, Shaena, was promised to the heir of Lord Rickard Stark, a bond meant to keep the North loyal.
A pre-ASOIAF AU, where King Aerys was not mad and his daughter Shaena wasn't stillborn.
