    Summary

    A plane crash was a statistical anomaly, surviving one even more so. The odds were microscopic, laughable in their improbability. And yet Dr. Anicia Morrone had survived, defying mathematics and mortality alike, only to wake in a world infinitely crueler than the one she had left behind.

    This was not Alice in Wonderland, oh no, this was Anicia in the depths of Hades’ own imagining... though even that comparison felt generous. Hades, at least, had rules. Westeros had ambition.

    She had intended to live quietly, to endure and adapt, to carve out a small and careful existence in a world that was not her own. But fate, it seemed, had little interest in her caution. Other plans were already in motion, threads that would entangle not only her own precarious survival, but the future of the realm itself.

    And, most dangerously of all, a certain prince — heir to the Iron Throne…. none other than Prince Baelor Breakspear.

    Summary

    A tourney stand looms up ahead out of the mist, a knight on a black stallion rides ahead of her and suddenly she knows, with a deep, clear certainty what her purpose is, here. She has read of this field, this day. She knows the ill luck that followed it, the hope of a fractured realm extinguished with a mace. She urges Valour on, draws abreast with the knight and he turns to her. A black shield, a red dragon. He raises his visor. “You ride for the Hedge Knight?” His voice echoes strangely in the helmet. He is more handsome than she expected. She nods. “I would know your name, ser.”

    “I am a true knight, your Grace.” she says, and passes the Prince, knowing she must answer to him at some point, or else disappear, as fast as she is able.

    Ser Brienne of Tarth, Commander of the Kingsguard, is sent by her King on a ride one misty morning in full tourney armour. Sent ninety years back, to the point at which some say it all went wrong, she has a rare and precious chance to make things right. Even if it costs her her foolish heart.

    Summary

    Everyone knows Mace Tyrell is a fool. The Fat Flower of Highgarden, an oaf who stumbled into power and lets his formidable mother run the Reach from behind his chair.

    Everyone is wrong.

    When the Tyrells embark on an unprecedented journey north—ostensibly to visit the legendary Wall—they bring more than wagons laden with grain and steel. They bring questions. Particularly about a certain bastard boy raised alongside the Stark heirs, treated with far more care than any lord's indiscretion should warrant.

    But the North keeps its own counsel, and Eddard Stark has survived a rebellion, kept his secrets for fourteen years, and will not yield them easily—not even to the cleverest roses the South can grow.

    Summary

    A more strategically inclined Ned Stark came back from war and made a list of things he wanted to do in the North to strengthen it. 15 years later he's off to become the Hand of the King. The long summer is coming to an end, and as they say, a long summer means a long winter.
