    Summary

    Westeros is in chaos: Eddard Stark has escaped King’s Landing and, after a harrowing journey north, the Lord of Winterfell has returned and has been proclaimed King in the North. Much as Ned Stark never wanted to be a king, Winter is Coming and the North needs someone to protect them. What he never expected was a hesitant alliance with Daenerys Targaryen, to have to leave one daughter behind married to the most cruel King in an age with a war threatening to tear Westeros apart, to have one son warning him that the Wildings are about to breach the wall and spill into the North unchecked, and another son betrothed to Myrcella Baratheon in some attempt to stop a war that has already begun. The Iron Throne may not be comfortable to sit, but Eddard Stark thinks the Throne of the North might just be worse.
