Summary
After the Greyjoy Rebellion, Lord Eddard Stark returns to Winterfell gravely wounded, and King Robert Baratheon comes north with him, determined to see his old friend safely home. What he finds within Winterfell’s walls is a household holding its breath, and a quiet boy who seems to belong nowhere within it. Within three moons, a royal decree is issued.
Jon Snow, bastard of Winterfell, is granted dominion over the long-abandoned ruins of Castamere in the Westerlands, a drowned keep buried beneath stone and silence, deemed by maesters and miners alike to be beyond saving. With only a reluctant Kingsguard knight at his side and a grave of a castle to call his own, Jon is sent south to a land that does not know him and a title no one expects him to keep.
Some ruins are meant to stay buried. Others are waiting for someone stubborn enough to rebuild them.
