The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.
All That Glitters tells the story of Ryan, a disinterested teenager, who is coached by the ghost of Shakespeare to land the role of Romeo in the school production and win over his Juliet. But in doing so, he must navigate the social hierarchies of his school and contend with an overbearing father who is also his English teacher and the play’s director.
