Much like in the House of the Dragon series, Lord Larys was just one of many culprits in the book believed to have killed Lord Lyonel and Ser Harwin Strong. Now, when the show airs, we know who actually conspired to murder them both. But here’s what the book made us believe before the episode aired!
The Strong Family’s Possible Murder Guilty in The Book’s Fire and Blood
The prime suspect was definitely Lord Larys who had the most to gain from the deaths of his father and brother. He will be the only living male member of the Strong Family, who will hold the right to be the head of their house and inherit the seat. But, there are many more characters who have enough reason to commit this crime.

Prince Daemon Targaryen was a suspect in the book for having Ser Harwin and Lyonel Strong killed in a fire accident. Prince Daemon was suspected of committing this crime for establishing a romantic relationship with Rhaenyra without Harwin’s interruptions.
Lord Corlys Velaryon is another suspect who has a reason to kill Lyonel and Harwin Strong. He was suspected of having proposed the murder in order to avenge the things that were an injustice to his son, Ser Laenor Velaryon. Rumor has it that he was not the father of Rhaenyra’s children, which automatically jeopardizes Rhaenyra’s claim to the throne, as does Laenor’s claim to it.
The last suspect according to the book was King Viserys I himself. It is said that King Viserys I wanted to put an end to the rumors that were spreading around his grandchildren. Ser Harwin is said to be the father of Rhaenyra Targaryen’s three children. And to end this rumor, the root of the rumor must die. And this also indicated distrust of King Viserys.
But with the release of House of the Dragon Episode 6, we are now done with all the bookish suspects!
