Robb Stark was raised to be a lord. War made him a king. With the North marching behind him and the Lannisters closing in, Robb has little time to think about anything beyond battle, strategy, and the men depending on him. But through every bloody campaign, there is one person he canโt seem to forgetโthe young healer who left Winterfell with him, whose gentle hands have tended to countless wounded soldiers and whose presence has become a quiet constant in a life consumed by war. They grew up together. They know each otherโs hearts better than most. But somewhere between childhood and kingship, something changed. Now, after the victory at Oxcross, Robb finds himself drawn back to her side. With war threatening to take everything from them, he must decide whether there is still room in the life of the King in the North for the one person who has always felt like home. Because kingdoms may be won with swords. But some battles are fought with the heart.
