Eirwen Stark, the quiet twin of Robb Stark, was sent to King's Landing before the war tore her family apart. Haunted by the news of her brother's death and the betrayal of his closest friend, Theon Greyjoy, Eirwen returns to Winterfell under the rule of the ruthless Boltons. As part of a political arrangement, her sister Sansa is to marry Ramsay Bolton, and Eirwen is caught in a dangerous web of survival and grief.
Amidst the cold, ruined halls of her childhood home, Eirwen discovers Theon-now a broken shadow of the man she once knew, forced to live as Ramsay's servant, Reek. Bound by their shared pain and longing for freedom, Eirwen and Theon form an unlikely alliance to escape Ramsay's grasp.
As they flee into the frozen wilderness with Sansa, Eirwen begins to see fragments of the Theon she once knew hidden beneath the broken pieces of Reek. Slowly, their bond deepens into something neither expected, even as they face relentless pursuit and the weight of their shared history.
Amidst betrayal, redemption, and survival, Eirwen must navigate her feelings for the man who both destroyed her family and risked everything to save her. Can forgiveness and love bloom in the harsh winter, or will the ghosts of their pasts tear them apart?
