Summary
The decree has been made: They will arrive at Castle Black three bastard boys and nothing else. And history will forget them.
'You are a Targaryen. That’s all that matters.'
But it hadn’t been all that mattered. In the end, it had come down to the color of their too-curled hair and the set of their bones, and hearsay. But hearsay, for those wanting so badly to hear it, is often more than enough to send the ax falling.
Jace wraps one arm around Joff, lets the frigid fingers of his other hand tangle in his horse’s mane in search of the barest warmth, then follows the rest of the company down the ridge toward The Wall.

Stripped of their titles and sent to the Wall as punishment for nothing more than the blood in their veins, Jace and his brothers must face a new reality. And it is a cold and harsh one, indeed.
But there are, perhaps, places where the frigid strangle of winter can be quelled for just a moment, such as the hands and body and words of Cregan Stark; A man who knows what it is to lose titles and and home alike. A boy like Jace, who has lost and, very much despite himself, seeks companionship and warmth.
