The Serpent's Rose: A Game of Thrones Story

Synopsis

Ros, the prostitute brutally murdered by Joffrey Baratheon, was never meant to survive. Yet, against all odds, she did. Left for dead in the Red Keep's dungeons, Ros claws her way back from the brink, fueled by a burning desire for revenge against Cersei Lannister, the woman ultimately responsible for her suffering. Concealing her survival, Ros navigates the treacherous underbelly of King's Landing, forging unlikely alliances with other marginalized individuals – former spies, disillusioned servants, and forgotten souls. She uses her cunning and knowledge of the city's secrets to build a network of informants and protectors, all while carefully plotting Cersei's downfall. The game has changed, and Ros intends to be the new player. As Ros inches closer to her goal, she must confront the moral implications of her actions. Is she becoming the very monster she seeks to destroy? Meanwhile, Cersei, increasingly paranoid and isolated, grapples with threats to her power and sanity. Her erratic behavior and desperate attempts to maintain control create vulnerabilities that Ros skillfully exploits. The collision course between these two women will determine not only their own fates but also the future of King's Landing, where justice is a luxury and survival is the only game that matters. As Ros closes in on Cersei, Bronn appears and aids her in taking Cersei into the dungeons, leaving her to die with the rest of the bodies.
