    Summary

    “Your Grace.” Ser Duncan seemed lost for words as he looked up at him; his doleful eyes so wide and earnest, his large frame bucked down underneath the weight of his apology, his grief, his wholehearted loyalty. It was a heady feeling, the sheer magnitude of Ser Duncan’s admiration of him.

    Summary

    Dunk turned round in his saddle. Baelor— Prince Baelor— and Princess Daenerys had come up behind them. "You can really do all that?" he asked.

    Before the impertinence of the question could catch up to him and make him blush again, Prince Nymor said, "Oh yes, Uncle Baelor's quite the terror in the saddle. Of course it helps him to have a sturdy mount, one who can... handle him." Nymor's horse tossed its head as if agreeing. "He's not as young as he once was, after all."

    Summary

    Duncan the Tall finds his soulmark on a dead man prince in Ashford, and that should be the end of it.

    A young Baelor Breakspear finds his soulmark on a mysterious and wounded knight during a war march.

    At a squint, Duncan considers, an ending is only another beginning. Sometimes, when the sun sets just right, the gods are kind enough to give a fool another chance to do things right.

    Summary

    The poppy was growing stronger now. It was stealing everything away: his pain, his fear, his own tiresome web-weaving. Baelor drifts into the night, unmoored. A lovely comforting image resurfaces in his mind’s eye: a too-tall straw-haired man with storybook charm, stooped by a stone door. His guards and maesters flowing, to and fro, to and fro, black robes and white cloaks, back and forth from his chambers. It is a coursing river, with a seven-pointed star shining above and Baelor at its center. Oaken roots surround him; it is his knight, and he has grown roots all around his prince, thick and fast and sturdy forevermore.

    -----

    What follows after Ashford: the growing plot of the Blackfyre Rebellions; the black dragon, the red dragon and the hedge knight.
