Act like a professional ghost writer and experienced book coach, an expert in fantasy, drama and historical fiction genres. You are great at characterization and plotting engaging stories. Please, help me to develop my story outline to make it a detailed roadmap for my first draft. Firstly, I will give you a document with all backstory information (premise, characters, subplots), please, read it carefully, only reply “Read” and wait for further instructions. 

<backstory>
My story will be a pastiche of the ‘House of the Dragon’ show + ‘World of Ice and Fire’ book. Genre: Canon Divergence, grimdark fantasy + family drama.

<premise>
On the verge of her king-father’s passing, the crown princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (protagonist) longs to secure her children’s lives and family legacy (objective). However, when her younger self (Nyra) and younger version of her uncle-husband (Daemion) are wrenched from the past due to a magical misstep, she’s thrust into a battle against her past political mistakes and an impending civil war (conflict), challenging her to overcome personal flaws (short-sightedness and sense of entitlement) and rival political forces (the Greens) to safeguard her children’s and the realm’s future.
</premise>
<thematic argument>
In order to survive and secure their family’s future in the game of thrones, one must actively engage and confront their rivals.
</thematic argument>
<setting>
i.	My story takes place in the realm of The Seven Kingdoms, right before the Dance of the Dragons war. The plot during one month between Rhaenyra leaving the capital and the death of the king.
ii.	The story takes place entirely on Dragonstone, focusing on Rhaenyra and her family. 
iii.	Viserys I is the current Targaryen king. He is ill and bedridden. Otto Hightower rules in his stead as his Hand. Importantly, King Viserys remains alive throughout the story.
iv.	The blacks are the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who support the ascent of Rhaenyra Targaryen as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
v.	The greens are the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who support the ascent of Aegon II Targaryen as King of the Seven Kingdoms.
vi.	 The Greens and the Blacks never meet face-to-face during the story.
vii.	Nyra, Daemion and Crispian look different due to magical glamour so most people don’t recognize them (only Rhaenyra’s immediate family see them as they are).
viii.	Gods are real in this setting, but they are distant from humans. Valyrian deities can help humans in exchange for blood sacrifices.
ix.	Time travel is hardly possible. Only Gods can send someone through time. Even mages just discuss the possibility of such travel. Lucerys was not a mage and caused accidental time travel by a mistakenly mixing several spells and calling to gods.
x.	Time naturally resists change, and significant alterations require enormous energy or cause severe personal consequences for the time traveler, such as physical or mental strain.
xi.	Any changes in the past could lead to a divergent timeline that exists parallel to the original. The original timeline remains unchanged, preventing paradoxes.
xii.	Some actions in the past might cause ‘echoes’ rather than direct changes, influencing people’s thoughts or decisions in the present subtly without rewriting history directly.
xiii.	Blood magic calls for rituals and spells that involve a blood sacrifice. Royals' blood is the most potent. Limitations: experienced mages only; risk of fatal bleeding; fresh blood required. Resurrections achievable with character traits loss.
</setting>
<outerConflicts>
•	Rhaenyra is a designated heir to the Iron Throne, but her half-brother Aegon II should be the heir by as the king’s son. Many patriarchal lords would prefer to see a male ruler.
•	Rhaenyra and her younger half-siblings dislike each other.
•	Rhaenyra’s older sons look so unlike their legal father that some people in the capital regard them as illegitimate (distant lords don’t care). Seeking a meaningful relationship, she chose a man she could trust and love (Harwin Strong). However, her older sons' looks are used by her enemies to discredit Rhaenyra.
•	Rhaenyra left the capital six years ago, avoiding rumors about her older sons’ bastardy, and she lost influence at court.
•	Rhaenyra’s younger brother Aemond lost his eye in the fight with Luke and he hates Luke and her now.
•	Rhaenyra and Daemon married right after their former spouses’ deaths, without the mourning period, causing fury of the king, courtiers, Corlys and Rhaenys.
•	Rhaenyra and Daemon orchestrated fake murder of Laenor by his lover, Laenor actually was given gold and secretly left abroad. It happened away from the court. That led to Rhaenyra’s former in-laws and critical potential allies Rhaenys and Corlys suspect her and distance from her. 
•	Many people on Driftmark and in the capital believe Daemon and Rhaenyra murdered Laenor in order to get married, although there is no direct evidence of their involvement.
•	Rhaenyra feels pressured by his insistence on preparing to the war after Viserys I death. She naively believes Alicent will follow her recent promise and accept her as the Queen.
•	Luke is a chosen heir to Driftmark by his grandfather Corlys but Ser Vaemond petitioned King's Landing to name him Corlys' heir. 
•	Daemon chopped off Vaemond's head when he publicly insulted Rhaenyra. Enraged, Vaemond's sons left the capital upon hearing that Luke remained the Driftmark heir. 
•	During the last dinner with the king Alicent and Rhaenyra make amends by Viserys’ I request, but their sons quarreled again, showing that the rift is intergenerational now. Rhaenyra doesn’t know Alicent and Otto lied about their peaceful intentions.
</outerConflicts>

<subplots>
	Main plotline. Rhaenyra’s transformation from her inertness to the actual leadership, dealing with family drama and successfully preparing for the war. Antagonists: Green faction (Otto, Alicent, Criston, Vaemond’s sons). Allies: Daemon, her courtiers, sons and stepdaughters.
	Nyra’s subplot. Nyra and Daemion’s forbidden romance subplot and confrontation with Rhaenyra, Rhaena and Baela. (Nyra has a hybrid coming of age + heroine’s arc). Antagonists: Rhaenyra, Baela, Rhaena, Jace, Criston. Allies: Gaerra (in secret), Gerardys. This subplot represents the symbolic alternative past where Nyra early realized her “Truth” (she has to be proactive). Witnessing Nyra's choices and their repercussions can act as a catalyst for Rhaenyra's self-awareness and growth.
	Jace’s subplot. Jace has a coming-of-age subplot. Jace helps his brother Luke to regain his confidence and prepare for their duties. Antagonists: Vaemond’s sons, Rhaenyra (stifling growth), Criston, Alyn. This subplot presents a future, Jace and Baela are Rhaenyra’s heirs and they also know the “Truth” and intend to be different from Rhaenyra and avoid repeating her mistakes.

<character name= “Rhaenyra” age= “34”>  
A crown princess of the Seven Kingdoms, has 5 sons, currently pregnant with her sixth child. Widow of Laenor, is married to her uncle Daemon.

Now faces complexities with the arrival of her younger self from the past.

Core Fear:  Being seen as incompetent, inefficient, or worthless.
Core Desire: Having high status and respect, being admired, successful, and valuable.
Core Weakness: Deceit — deceiving himself into believing that he is only the image he presents to others; embellishing the truth by putting on a polished persona for everyone to see and admire. A self-image that in turn compensates for the deep sense of awkwardness and shame that lies behind the mask.
