    What Remains After

    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 can’t seem to forget—the 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 other’s 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.

    Frank Castle

    Frank Castle has spent years disappearing into the shadows, returning only when he’s injured, exhausted, or in need of somewhere safe to breathe. He doesn’t trust easily, doesn’t talk about his past, and certainly doesn’t let people get close. She’s different. They’ve known each other for years, and despite every attempt Frank has made to keep his distance, she’s become the one person he always finds his way back to. She knows his lies, his silences, and the way he pretends he doesn’t need anyone. Their relationship exists somewhere between friendship and something neither of them is willing to name. But Frank’s world is dangerous, and caring about her makes her a target. The more he tries to protect her by pushing her away, the more obvious it becomes that she may be the only person he actually trusts. For Frank Castle, letting someone in might be more frightening than any enemy he’s ever faced.
