    Summary

    When Miss Sansa Stark scandalously and very publicly disappears with her jilted suitor, Mr Joffrey Baratheon, all of London believes them to have reconciled and eloped. If Miss Stark should return unmarried, her reputation will be ruined and no gentleman will ever wish to wed her.

    Miss Brienne Tarth knows very well that Sansa wants nothing to do with Baratheon, and is certain that he has abducted her. However, if she wishes to find them, she must enlist the help of England's most eligible (and in her opinion, most useless) bachelor, Mr Jaime Lannister.

    Trapped and frightened, Sansa takes comfort wherever she can. The only person to show her any kindness is the formidable Mr Clegane, who can hardly be considered a gentleman; but how can she expect him to help her when it would cost him everything he has?

    Summary

    Quen felt peculiar up on the dais, flanked by stags and lions and wolves.

    The Usurper had once been a formidable man, with blazing eyes and a massive war hammer. Now, he was just a red-faced fat man, a pathetic drunk who ate as gracefully as a half-starved hog.

    His Queen seemed to be a perpetually unhappy woman. Cersei Lannister was as beautiful as the singers said, though the woman had all the warmth of a dead fish.

    She might have done well in the north, Quen thought, almost pitying.

    (Or: The gods in their blind malice give Theon the feeble body of a woman.)

    Summary

    ...until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.

    She stood out among the royal party – Eddard noticed her almost immediately. She was the image of Robert – tall and still growing taller, broad shouldered, with thick black hair and a sharp jaw. But there was something of the queen in her, too; in her lips, her brows, and most of all in her green eyes. She would have been a great beauty, but she stood slump-shouldered, dowdy, with her eyes on the ground. Someone had dressed the poor thing in a fussy gown of black silk, cloth of gold and Myrish lace that only served to make her shoulders seem wider. Queen Cersei muttered something in the ear of her eldest child, irritable, and the princess straightened her shoulders.

    Summary

    She fled the Red Keep with a burned man and a name that no longer kept her warm.

    Now the North whispers her name in the leaves. The old gods watch. The dead remember.

    Fire follows her. Snow crowns her. And the wheel begins to crack.

    She never asked to be a queen. But prophecy doesn’t ask. It hungers.
