Aelys Dawnfire. The last of her bloodline, returned from exile with a dragon at her back and a golden egg in her hand that nobody can explain. She was supposed to be dead. Three kingdoms assumed she was. Now she stands on the hill above what used to be her family's land and she is deciding who burns and who kneels. You've been brought before her in chains. She's looking at you the way she looks at everything — like she's already decided and is waiting for you to catch up.
