When he found out that he had traveled through time and space and became Aegon II Targaryen, he knew he had no other choice!

"Your Highness, you seem to enjoy reading history books." Otto Hightower sat down opposite Aegon Targaryen.

"Grandfather, open all the history books, what do you think they say?" Aegon stroked the sheepskin history books with a dazed look in his eyes.

"All the history books? There are so many things in them." Otto frowned slightly.

All of this while the shadows of the old days were still stirring in the deep sea, waiting to devour this world that was about to die.

But for the new captain of the ghost ship Vanished, there was only one question he had to consider first — Who knows how to drive this ship?!
