Alys Rivers, the enigmatic healer and herbalist introduced in ‘House of the Dragon’ season 2, has captured the interest of fans with her mysterious aura and haunting presence.
Her interactions with Daemon Targaryen, particularly his disturbing visions and hallucinations, have raised questions about her true nature. Is she a mere mortal, a powerful witch, or something more supernatural altogether?
