Summary
As the cold winds howl beyond Winterfell’s walls, Arya Stark’s path takes a decisive turn. The arrival of Daenerys Targaryen’s army and the return of old faces bring alliances and tensions in equal measure. Arya stands apart, focused on her own mission: survival, revenge, and the names still left on her list.
Sandor Clegane—The Hound—returns as well, the brute she once left for dead, now a dark protector who shares the same hunger for unfinished vengeance. As they train and plan for the battle against the dead, a deeper bond grows between them, forged in shadow and steel.
When the Long Night is over, a new war begins. Arya and Sandor must decide whether they will stand with the others or strike out for King’s Landing to end Cersei Lannister’s reign of cruelty once and for all.
