Astrid

Astrid never believed the worlds in her books could touch her own-until the night she died.

A modern soldier trained in medicine, engineering, and survival, Astrid wakes in the body of a young Northman's daughter on the edge of Wintertown, years before the great wars that will shake Westeros. Her memories remain sharp. Her instincts remain deadly. Her heart remains haunted.

But in this new life, she is just a girl. A forester's child. A bastard of Stark blood.

And the old gods are watching her.

Drawn to the weirwoods and burdened with visions of ravens, smoke, and dead things in the snow, Astrid understands one thing with terrifying clarity:

Winter is coming-and this time, she is here to prepare for it.
