for Crispian Celtigar in House of the Dragon: The Conquest
Suggested by nathanialprice
Just as dreams brought the Targaryens to the shores of Westeros, dreams will drive them to conquer it. The Doom of Valyria sparked a century of blood across Essos, with the Free Cities and other opportunists gorging themselves on the corpse of the Freehold. As Volantenes scheme and Dothraki pillage, Lord Aegon Targaryen of Dragonstone's ominous dragon dreams forewarn of an even greater calamity rising in the North: a Song of Ice and Fire, when the cold and the dead march to extinguish the world of the living. Only a Westeros unified under the Targaryen banner will survive this second Long Night, led by the prince that was promised, Azor Ahai-reborn. With his sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys at his side and wielding the power of dragons, Aegon Targaryen will have to become more than a King or a Dragon-Rider—he will have to become a Conqueror.
