    Summary

    Part 1 in a series of 3. Probable general spoilers for A Dance with Dragons.

    Arya Stark rejects the nameless, anonymous lifestyle of the Faceless Men and returns to Westeros four years into the long winter. Cut off from the North by driving snows and treacherous winter seas, she must wait out the worst of the season in the Riverlands in the company of the Brotherhood without Banners. Bandits and broken men and the hardships of winter are not the only enemies, for Arya has plenty of her own demons she must battle. As a child, she lost almost everything, even her own identity; as a young woman, she is still haunted by those losses. Even so, she has a preternatural pack of wolves, a distant brother, and her past companion Gendry to help her on her way to finding herself again.
