Summary
King Viserys, the first of his name, dies alone and rotting, though most will say that he had died many sunturns before, on the eve of what maesters will come to name, 'the dance of the dragons', a bloody and unjust civil war between the Greens and the Blacks. Between his firstborn and his first son.
The fool king dies alone, with just the memory of false peace between the two branches of his family to calm his failing heart.
Delighted to finally be reunited with his love, Aemma, and their lost children, Visery instead awakes an odd Twenty-and-one sun turns before, at what he now knows to be the beginning of the end for the house of the dragons. His blood calls for that of towers, and with what he knows to come, no thing in all of the seven kingdoms will sate his hunger.

Summary
Though the loss of its master was disastrous enough, the first true sign that all was not well at the Jinlintai came a fortnight after Jin Guangyao’s death.
“They say that Jin-furen refuses to wear mourning,” Nie Huaisang said to Lan Xichen, when he visited Gusu in the wake of Jin Guangyao’s funeral. “What if—what if something’s wrong, Xichen-gege? She was devoted to San-ge, so why would she…”
This was so far beyond belief that Lan Xichen dismissed Huaisang’s report at once. But he wrote to Qin Su that evening, asking her if all was well; and though he visited the mail-office nearly every day during the week that followed, he received no reply.
In which something is rotten at the heart of Lanling, and Lan Xichen attempts—and fails—to discover what it might be.

Summary
Rhaenyra is called to the Dragon Pit to deal with an incident involving Aegon in Syrax's nest. There's not much left, but Rhaenyra is fairly certain the remains belong to Otto Hightower. Why he's dead is not nearly as important to Rhaenyra as why Syrax is growling at her now too.
