Between Fangs and Thorns

Maeryanne Tyrell, youngest daughter of Lord Garth and Lady Eleanor, couldn't stand the idea of marriage. She had always dreamed of becoming something more than just a lady, but she didn't know what "more" was.

Hoping to gain more power and allies, Lord Tyrell made a deal with Lord Brandon Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. The Targaryens still ruled over the Seven Kingdoms, but without their dragons what was stopping anyone else from taking over King's Landing?

Lord Brandon Stark thrived for more. His House, once royalty, didn't have the power it used to have before Torrhen Stark, the King Who Knelt, bent the knee to Aegon the Conqueror. His hunger for recognition and the desire to bring back the power House Stark had was out of control and his son, Lord Alaric Stark, knew that very well.

When both Alaric and Maeryanne were informed about the deal their lord fathers made, they were not happy. The North was no place for a rose from the South and the Starks had always kept their business in the North.

What would happen when the wolf married the rose? Would their world be closed in between fangs and thorns? Or would their marriage bring something else?
