"Second of His Name" Greg Yaitanes Gabe Fonseca & Ryan Condal September 4, 2022 1.75[17]
For three years, the conflicts in the Stepstones have escalated. Lord Corlys and Prince Daemon battle Craghas Drahar and his pirates without the Iron Throne's support. Meanwhile, King Viserys plans a great hunt to celebrate his and pregnant Queen Alicent's son Aegon's second birthday. Rhaenyra resents the attention her father heaps on her half-brother Aegon. Their relationship is further strained by the ailing king's insistence that 17-year old Rhaenyra must marry to form a strong alliance and protect their lineage. Among the suitors is Lord Jason Lannister of Casterly Rock, a match Rhaenyra opposes. Even Rhaenyra's two-year-old brother is proposed as a match. Lord Strong recommends Ser Laenor Velaryon, Lord Corlys' son, believing it will mend the rift between the two houses. Overcoming his previous doubts, Viserys assures Rhaenyra she will remain his heir and can choose her consort. Meanwhile, brothers Hobert and Otto Hightower secretly scheme to make Prince Aegon the successor, furthering their family's power and prestige. After Ser Vaemond Velaryon pleads for the king's help, Viserys agrees to send aid to the Stepstones. Seeing his brother's aid as ending his chance to prove himself, Daemon acts as bait to ambush the Triarchy warriors, killing the Crabfeeder and winning the ensuing battle before the crown's forces arrive.
