Aelfwynne
Book two of the IRON AND SPIDERS
The Battle of New York is won, but the Great Game has only just begun.
After witnessing a world of gods, flying armor, and alien armadas, the kings, queens, and rebels of Westeros are left reeling in a theater outside of time. But there is no peace for the wicked. As a new dawn breaks over the timeless arena, the crystalline wall crackles to life once more, pulling the viewers into the dark, fractured aftermath of the Chitauri invasion.
Natasha Romanoff-the lost firstborn heiress of Casterly Rock-has traded the high-profile glory of the Avengers vanguard for the murky, deep-cover operations of S.H.I.E.L.D. Alongside her stands the honorable knight Steve Rogers, while her heart remains fiercely anchored to Tony Stark, the brilliant merchant-king battling his own internal demons across the sea.
But shadows are lengthening. An ancient, unseen rot has metastasized inside the very fortress Natasha calls home, and a terrifying phantom from the past-the deadly, metal-armed Winter Soldier-has emerged to tear the world apart piece by piece.
From the calculating eyes of Tywin Lannister to the burning fury of Cersei, Westeros must sit, watch, and bear witness as their lost lioness fights a war where allies become enemies, secrets become weapons, and the price of survival is paid in blood and iron.
The wheel is spinning. The sky is falling. And the winter storm is finally here.
