Arya (21), having hidden and worked secretly in Tywin Lannister's service for four years, comes upon him immediately after Tyrion shoots him at the Red Keep. She has fantasized about killing him for years but now can't let him die - not like this. But in saving someone's life, there is a burden and a responsibility, and when she saves his life a second time, he reveals that he knows exactly who she is.
But to save Arya from those who want the Starks dead, Tywin must either marry her himself, or offer her to another - and this, he will not do, for in the wolf who has saved his life, he has found something he never thought he would find again: an equal.
A romance with many twists and turns, To Protect and To Serve follows the passionate and challenging course of two of GoT's most intense characters as they fight to save Westeros from the oncoming plague of Wights - and the deadly political struggles within King's Landing itself.
Sansa and Tyrion also finally find their own peace in the world while Jaime and Brienne enlist the aid of Yara (Asha) Greyjoy as they go on a mission to rescue Tommen and bring back Daenerys Targaryen, in a mysterious last ditch rescue effort that may be the best hope to save the Seven Kingdoms - and Essos as well.
