The Discovery
Found as a child of five on the Kingsroad, Zorana is a mystery wrapped in trauma. Discovered by Eddard Stark near the body of a woman she barely remembers, she is brought to Winterfell. Raised as a ward of the North and a lady-in-waiting to Catelyn Stark, Zorana grows up within the safe, stone walls of the Stark ancestral home-but her heart is far from secure.
The Duty
To solidify her place in the North and repay the debt of her life, Zorana is betrothed to Robb Stark, the charismatic Heir to Winterfell. Robb is her rock, her best friend, and the man who represents honor, stability, and a crown. He loves her with the steady ferocity of a future King, and Zorana is determined to be the lady he deserves.
The Desire
However, a different kind of fire draws her toward Jon Snow, the Bastard of Winterfell. Bonded by their shared status as outsiders within the family, their friendship has evolved into a forbidden, soul-deep ache. While Robb is the sun of Winterfell, Jon is its shadow-and Zorana finds herself torn between the duty she owes the Starks and the love she cannot confess to the man who can never have a name.
