Preface

"Those who love much, do much and accomplish much, and whatever is done with love is done well.... Love is the best and noblest thing in the human heart, especially when it is tested by life as gold is tested by fire. Happy is he who has loved much, and although he may have wavered and doubted, he has kept that divine spark alive and returned to what was in the beginning and ever shall be.

IF ONLY ONE KEEPS LOVING FAITHFULLY WHAT IS TRULY WORTH LOVING AND DOES NOT SQUANDER ONE'S LOVE ON TRIVIAL AND INSIGNIFICANT AND MEANINGLESS THINGS THEN ONE WILL GRADUALLY OBTAIN MORE LIGHT AND GROW STRONGER." ― VINCENT VAN GOGH, THE LETTERS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH.

In these pages lies an alternative history - a tale spun from threads of truth woven with strands of fiction. Our protagonist, King Rhaenyra I, transcends the boundaries set by time and circumstance to carve out a new destiny for himself and those around him. This is not merely a story about politics or warfare; it is a deeply personal account of one individual's struggle to find acceptance amidst societal norms that seek to confine them. As you embark on this journey through Dragonfire Ascendant: Tales from House Targaryen, remember that every person deserves the freedom to define themselves on their own terms. Let us celebrate the courage displayed by our trans male bisexual monarch as he navigates love, loss, triumph, and tragedy in pursuit of self-discovery and fulfillment.
