Chapters of A Song of Ice & Fire - A Game of Thrones - Daenerys X      As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.

Sansa has been such a gift to me, but I really do actively work against the possibility of Sansa Stark being the only thing I’m known for. So, every role that I choose, I’m quite selective about it. I try not to do any period work, or princesses, or anything like that. I’m trying to make myself—before Game of Thrones ends—to be seen as diverse as possible. I want to have a huge catalogue of work in different genres. I would love to do comedy. I would love to do horror, maybe. There’s nothing I would rule out at this point because I think I need a large repertoire for people to be able to see me as something other than ‘that girl from Game of Thrones’.

Chapters of A Song of Ice & Fire - A Clash of Kings - Daenerys I      “And Balerion...his fire was as black as his scales, his wings so vast that whole towns were swallowed up in their shadow when he passed overhead.”      The Dothraki looked at her hatchlings uneasily. The largest of her three was shiny black, his scales slashed with streaks of vivid scarlet to match his wings and horns. “Khaleesi,” Aggo murmured, “there sits Balerion, come again.”      “It may be as you say, blood of my blood,” Dany replied gravely, “but he shall have a new name for his new life. I would name them for all those the gods have taken. The green one shall be Rhaegal, for my valiant brother who died on the green banks of the Trident. The cream-and-gold I call Viserion. Viserys was cruel and weak and frightened, yet he was my brother still. His dragon will do what he could not.”      “And the black beast?” asked Ser Jorah Mormont.      “The black,” she said, “is Drogon.”

Chapters of A Song of Ice & Fire - A Clash of Kings - Sansa I      Once she had loved Prince Joffrey with all her heart, and admired and trusted his mother, the queen. They had repaid that love and trust with her father’s head. Sansa would never make that mistake again.

Chapters of A Song of Ice & Fire - A Clash of Kings - Davos II      “It was justice,” Stannis said. “A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward. You were a hero and a smuggler.” He glanced behind at Lord Florent and the others, rainbow knights and turncloaks, who were following at a distance. “These pardoned lords would do well to reflect on that. Good men and true will fight for Joffrey, wrongly believing him the true king. A northman might even say the same of Robb Stark. But these lords who flocked to my brother’s banners knew him for a usurper. They turned their backs on their rightful king for no better reason than dreams of power and glory, and I have marked them for what they are. Pardoned them, yes. Forgiven. But not forgotten.” He fell silent for a moment, brooding on his plans for justice.

Chapters of A Song of Ice & Fire - A Clash of Kings - Arya VI      Every night Arya would say their names. “Ser Gregor,” she’d whisper to her stone pillow. “Dunsen, Polliver, Chiswyck, Raff the Sweetling. The Tickler and the Hound. Ser Amory, Ser Ilyn, Ser Meryn, King Joffrey, Queen Cersei.” Back in Winterfell, Arya had prayed with her mother in the sept and with her father in the godswood, but there were no gods on the road to Harrenhal, and her names were the only prayer she cared to remember.
