The Princess and the Queen, or, the Blacks and the Greens is a novella by George R. R. Martin, published in the 2013 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.
