    Summary

    To maintain the fragile peace between north and south, Clarke of House Tyrell is sent to live in Winterfell as an act of faith between the two kingdoms. There, she is put under the protection of the first queen in the north, Queen Lexa of House Stark, Daughter of Wolves. A woman draped in steel and silver, wolves at her heels and rumoured to be a manifestation of the fury of the old gods; Clarke refuses to be awed be her quiet violence and cold smile. Instead of fostering unity, the meeting of the wolf and the rose lights a spark that spreads through the rest of Westeros, threatening to burn it to the ground.

    Summary

    Under the direction of enigmatic founder Lexa Woods, Gonakru Nova is a small but prestigious company making waves in the New York theatre scene.

    Under the not-so-gentle bullying of her best friend Octavia, Clarke Griffin - a former TV actor with a bit of past she'd rather forget - decides to audition for a new play Gonakru is producing, despite her long hiatus from acting.

    What happens next?

    A little pining. A lot of swearing. And proof that --regardless of how long Clarke's been away -- there's still one shining rule about theatre that will always apply, no matter what:

    Always expect the unexpected.
