Winter is coming, and Lyra Stark, adopted daughter of Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, travels to King's Landing with her father and her sisters. It is a city of deceit, lies and corruption, a place so far from her home of honour and duty. Her family is everything to her, but they are in danger, and it is her duty to protect them. She must not fail them.
Meanwhile, Tyrion, son of Tywin, of House Lannister, makes his way to the Wall with Jon Snow, Lyra's bastard brother (although not really, but we'll get to that later). His path is caught up with Lyra's, but it is a long road, dark, weary (and full of terrors).
When you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die.
Lyra Snow, the bastard daughter of Lord Eddard Stark, grew up in the shadows of Winterfell, just a year younger than her brother, Robb. While he basked in their father's love, Lyra knew only loneliness, marked by the stigma of her birth.
Tragedy shaped her life-first, the execution of her father, then the brutal deaths of her brothers, Robb and Rickon, and finally, the loss of her stepmother, Catelyn. Each loss hardened her heart, transforming her into something more than the forgotten daughter of House Stark.
Now, Lyra stands ready to claim her destiny. The North remembers, and so will the world, for she is no longer just Lyra Snow-she is the Queen of the North.
