Game of Thrones: Cersei's Black-Haired Prince

Reborn as the second son of King Robert Baratheon, Leon knows from his very first breath that the Iron Throne will never be his. He has black hair—the unmistakable mark of Baratheon blood in a court ruled by Lannister gold. To survive, he plays the fool, feigns laziness, and cultivates a reputation for being utterly indifferent to power. His father dismisses him, his mother Cersei cannot fathom him, his brother Joffrey despises him, and the court writes him off as a prince without promise. Content to remain invisible, Leon wishes only to keep his head down and stay far from the blood-soaked intrigues of King's Landing. But when the War of the Five Kings erupts and every would-be ruler claws for the crown, the one prince everyone dismissed as worthless emerges as the last man standing—and the only one capable of salvaging the realm from its own ruin.
