After King Viserys' death, the Small Council plots to install Prince Aegon on the Iron Throne. Ser Criston Cole kills Lord Beesbury when he objects to Princess Rhaenyra being usurped, while Lord Commander Harrold Westerling resigns in protest. Ser Otto delays announcing the king's death to fortify their position, and demands fealty from nobles. Queen Alicent tries to gain support from a captive Princess Rhaenys, but to no avail. When Aegon disappears from the Red Keep, Otto has Kingsguards Ser Erryk and Ser Arryk search the city, while Alicent sends Criston and Prince Aemond. Mysaria, the White Worm, informs Otto that Aegon is hiding in the city's sept, but Criston and Aemond apprehend him after a brief fight. Larys Strong warns Alicent of Mysaria's spies, so she has her house burnt down. Aegon insists he is unfit to rule, but Alicent convinces him otherwise. Meanwhile, Ser Erryk smuggles Rhaenys out of the castle. Otto has hundreds of smallfolk herded into the Dragonpit's main hall, where he announces Viserys' death and crowns Aegon as king. Amid the commotion, Rhaenys reaches her dragon Meleys. She then demolishes the hall and confronts the royal usurpers before fleeing on dragonback.

Six years later, House Velaryon faces a succession crisis when Lord Corlys Velaryon is seriously wounded in the Stepstones. Vaemond Velaryon petitions King's Landing to remove Lucerys as Corlys' heir, proclaiming him illegitimate. Rhaenyra and Daemon return to the capital with all their children to defend Lucerys' claim. They discover that King Viserys is now bedridden and all royal affairs are managed by Queen Alicent and Ser Otto in his stead. Alicent covers up her married son Aegon raping a handmaiden. When Vaemond arrives in the Red Keep, Rhaenyra proposes an arrangement to gain Princess Rhaenys' support. She also requests that her father defend her succession, quoting Aegon the Conqueror's dream. The next day, Otto Hightower hears Vaemond Velaryon's petition, who claims that Driftmark should pass to him. As Rhaenyra begins speaking, King Viserys arrives and declares Lucerys the heir to Driftmark. Enraged, Vaemond calls Rhaenyra's children bastards and is immediately decapitated by Daemon. That night, the Targaryens, Velaryons, and Hightowers attend a feast to mend their relations, but the princes start a fight. Viserys, near death, privately reveals parts of Aegon the Conqueror's dream to Alicent whom he confuses with Rhaenyra, with Alicent believing he is talking about her son, Aegon.

Adar and the Orc army find the watchtower abandoned. While they search the grounds, Arondir destroys the tower, causing it to collapse onto the Orc army. The townspeople, who moved down the valley to another village, cheer as they prepare for the next assault. Arondir hides the broken blade, professes his love to Bronwyn, and promises a life together after the battle. The battle begins, and while the villagers appear victorious, many of the enemy they killed were actually the traitorous townspeople. The true Orc army attacks from the shadows, killing many and severely wounding Bronwyn. As more villagers die, Theo reveals the location of the broken blade to Adar. The Númenorian army approaches, after journeying across the sea, and slay the remaining Orcs. Adar attempts to escape, but is captured by Galadriel and Halbrand. They interrogate him, discovering his origins as a Moriondor or Uruk, elves corrupted by Morgoth. He taunts them, feigning memory of killing Halbrand's Southlandian family and claiming to have killed Sauron. As Halbrand is hailed as the King of the Southlands, Theo realizes the broken blade they recovered is a decoy while the true blade had been carried back to the watchtower by Waldreg, leader of the village traitors. He plants it into a mechanism, causing a nearby dam to release. Water rushes through the Orc tunnels towards Mount Doom and clashes with magma, resulting in its eruption.
