Our second BLAM of the month is all about the real ruler of the Red Keep: that big old mean black cat who keeps popping in and out of the narrative, of course! Reader Ellan Evans asks us if there’s some deeper meaning behind the feline formerly known as Princess Rhaenys’s cat Balerion. Has our four-legged friend been skinchanged by parties unknown? Could he be possessed by the spirit of a slain Targaryen? Or is he just a cool cat? Find out in the latest episode of our subscriber-only mini-podcast, available for just $2/month at our Patreon!
