Same title music, new problems for the Targaryens. Suppurating sores, carnivorous crabs and medical maggots, stolen eggs and secret marriages threaten the stability of the royal family, and there are plots afoot. We also look at the history of courtly love and the chivalric code as Rhaenyra chooses her new sworn protector.
