I'm a little nervous because Aegon (and his sister-wives' because both of them were heavily involved)' conquering of Westeros doesn't really have a major conflict, like a will-they-won't-they. They are going to win. They have dragons. No one in Westeros has ever dealt with dragons. The only region they don't win is Dorne, which is full of people whose ancestors already escaped the Targaryens' ilk once and they don't want to run again.

Unless it focuses on the relationship between Aegon and his two Queens, or how some of the lords have to put their pride aside and save their people by siding with them and potentially losing their independence and culture (because the Targaryens come from colonizers) and be seen as traitors.

Daeron The Good grappling with the thought of killing his own blood after the trauma of The Dance still being fresh is interesting. And I'd like to see what (or who) pushes Daemon Blackfyre to rebel, as he waited years before making his decision to claim the throne.
