Chapter Fifty-Six - The Iron Suitor - A Dance with Dragons | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

Send a text

Victarion Greyjoy meets Moqorro. The priest of R’hllor proves his value by curing Victarion’s wounded hand. Onwards to Meereen and Daenerys - to claim her as his bride. Simon and Mackelly wonder if he and Daenerys might be ill-suited.

Chapter Review:
Victarion Greyjoy is awaiting the rest of his storm-ravaged Iron Fleet on the Isle of Cedars. The fleet has dwindled from 93 down to 54, but that new number includes captured cogs and fishing boats that hardly cover for the other losses.

He is ahead of a large fleet (300-500 ships) coming from Volantis to destroy Daenerys Targaryen, and knows he must leave soon if he is to claim her. His mission was to bring her back for his brother Euron, but he plans to claim her as his own bride.

One ship brings a prisoner to Victarion - Moqorro the priest of R’Hllor. Greyjoy is tempted to sacrifice him to the Drowned God, but the man has knowledge that he shouldn’t. Sequestered Moqorro heals Victarion’s injured hand, and so it is Maester Kerwin who becomes the sacrifice.
