Snow on the Water

"Perhaps you should not so willingly squander my mercy."
The Riverlands, for all their faults, have been peaceful for all of Lady Celesse Blackwood's life. The eldest daughter of Lord Samwell Blackwood, she has been trained in the arts of politics and swordfighting from a young age, far outpacing her younger brother's talents in these areas. Her brazen, outspoken personality has endeared her to those at home, but it may yet cause issues for her outside of her family's halls. As tales of a civil war brewing in the capital begin to reach Raventree Hall, Celesse must carve out her own place in this changing world, one borne of surprising strength and determination.
