A lively southern girl from house Rowen comes to Winterfell before the royal visit and quickly forms a warm, playful bond with Robb Stark. Though she struggles with the cold and feels out of place at first, she finds herself drawn to the North—and to him. As their friendship turns into love, Robb asks her to stay, and instead of walking away, she chooses to take a chance on a life she never expected. By the time news spreads of the king’s arrival, she is no longer just a visitor, but someone who has found a true home at Winterfell—by Robb’s side.
