    Summary

    The Starks have always been the champions of the Old Gods, only mistakes made by the last three generations led to the extinction of the family. That might have been the end, only the Old Gods had been soaked in generations of Stark blood and devotion. They decided to change the flow of time, to take the one person who could move the family off the path of destruction and make him live life again. Ned Stark hadn’t known how many mistakes he had made, but the gods were going to show him… and then make him try again.

    Summary

    Robert dies at the Trident, and Ned dies at the Tower of Joy. Catelyn sits in the Red Keep, on a throne of swords, alone and afraid.

    She lifts her chin, proudly. There is a crown braided into her hair, a son at her hip, seven kingdoms watching to see her falter. Catelyn straightens her back, and becomes the queen she’d never imagined herself to be.

    Summary

    Lysa’s letter never makes it to Winterfell.

    In its absence, King Robert still looks to renew the spark of friendship he once had with Eddard Stark, but when Ned turns down the offer to be Hand, his attention shifts to his namesake and Ned’s eldest son instead. Thus, Robb goes south in the place of his father, down into the lion’s den that is King’s Landing, almost entirely alone. Meanwhile, Jon finds that having the name Snow can be useful, Arya takes control of her own life, and through it all Ned desperately tries to keep his family safe.
