content: '''''The Princess and the Queen, or, the Blacks and the Greens''''' is a novella by George R. R. Martin, published in the 2013 Tor Books anthology ''Dangerous Women''. Set in the Westeros of Martin's ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' series, 200 years before the events of ''A Game of Thrones'' (1996), it chronicles the "continent-burning warfare" (called the "Dance of Dragons") that explodes between Targaryen Princess Rhaenyra and her stepmother, Queen Alicent.
  The work is presented as the writing of the fictional Archmaester Gyldayn, also the "author" of Martin's 2014 novella ''The Rogue Prince'', a direct prequel to ''The Princess and the Queen''.
