Chapter 63: The Unseen Flame

The Second Codex trembles when Andrew speaks the name Velaryon. Visions of a blood-drinking fire cult flash in his mind—dragons twisted by sorcery, bound to the will of a corpse-king.

Andrew begins to doubt what he is becoming.

Daenerys sees the toll in his eyes. "Are we becoming tyrants?"

"No," Andrew says. "But the tyrant always thinks he's the flame of justice."
