   Summary

   Greyjoy’s Rebellion is in its death throes. The self-proclaimed King of the Iron Islands loses both his sons, then his islands, then his castle. When Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark breach the walls of Pyke, Balon Greyjoy is left with little choice but to surrender the Driftwood Crown and bend the knee. He is permitted to keep his head and his seat - on the condition that the younger of his two daughters is raised as a ward of Lord Eddard at Winterfell, and in time married to his eldest son and heir.
