A Tale of Salt and Snow ➵ Theon Greyjoy
All Lyarra Stark ever wanted was to be chosen.
Not for her name. Not for her house. Not for the alliances she could secure-but simply for herself.
But as the eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark, her future has never truly belonged to her. Suitors will come. Promises will be made. And love has always seemed like a luxury meant for someone else.

All Theon Greyjoy ever wanted was to belong.
Raised among wolves, yet never truly one of them, he has spent his life walking the line between what he is and what he wishes he could be.
Loving Lyarra Stark was never supposed to happen.
The son of Balon Greyjoy had no right to dream of Lord Stark's daughter.
So when suitors begin arriving at Winterfell...
He makes a choice.
He will help her find the man who did.
⸻
When Lyarra returns to Winterfell after years in the South, the girl Theon once knew is gone-replaced by someone sharper, stronger... and far more dangerous to his peace of mind.
What begins as familiar rivalry-quick wit, sharper smiles, and years of challenging one another-soon becomes something neither of them is prepared to face.
Not because they fall in love.
But because they refuse to admit they already have.
Until every choice they make begins to cost them.
⸻
Because some lines should never be crossed.
A Stark.
A Greyjoy.
And a love that could cost them everything.

A kraken cannot keep a wolf.
Unless the wolf chooses the sea.
