endure the freeze - robb stark

Phillipa Rimevale has never fit neatly into the world she was born into. The younger daughter of House Rimevale of Frosthold, she was raised in the far North where survival matters more than beauty, and obedience matters less than instinct. While her elder sister Alys learns the careful grace expected of noble ladies, Phillipa prefers the open Frostmere woods, a bow in her hands, and the freedom of riding beyond sight of the keep.

But the North is changing.

When Lord Immanuel Rimevale decides his daughters must be fostered at Winterfell under Lord Eddard Stark, Phillipa is torn from everything she knows, including the secret she has brought back from the forest: a wounded shadowcat she calls Nyx, a creature of legend, silence, and ice.

At Winterfell, Phillipa is thrust into a world of Stark politics, northern honour, and eyes that begin to notice her in ways she never expected, especially Robb Stark, the young heir of Winterfell, who finds himself drawn to the strange girl from Frosthold with silver-light eyes and winter in her blood.

But the North is never simple. Loyalties shift, old alliances are tested, and what began as a duty-bound fostering becomes something far more dangerous: connection, conflict, and a bond that could change both houses forever.
