As Winter Falls the Ice

In the aftermath of the Battle of the Blackwater, pretender Stannis Baratheon has been captured and Sansa Stark has been set aside as King Joffrey's betrothed in favor of Margaery Tyrell. The twin sister to the King in the North has been made a ward to Lord Tywin Lannister, Hand of the King, and eventually sword-wed to him. Sentenced to join the Night's Watch to save his daughter and pardon his bannermen, the Pretender Baratheon must march north with Lord Lannister and the King in the North to combat the white menace as Lady Sansa, the Stark of House Lannister and now-Princess of the North, travels to Casterly Rock to take up the duties of ruling a people who have not forgotten her brother's sins.   Betrayal and murder harry the wake of the alliance, while Sansa struggles with pregnancy, sickness, Ironborn sieges, and treachery while building a place for herself as a Lady of the Rock. In the process, she might just revolutionize the lives of smallfolk and lords alike, and they in turn just might make her immortal.   Where A Song of Ice and Fire comes through with music, dancing, and love unlooked for.
