    Summary

    As the youngest daughter of the late lord of Raventree Hall, Laurane Blackwood never thought she would end up being forced into a marriage she did not want. Least of all to an individual of such ill reputation as Prince Aerion Targaryen. The day her uncle Brynden “Bloodraven” Rivers announced a marriage arrangement had been made on her behalf, Laurane thought surely this could not be the will of the Old Gods. Her fated path, however, has the chance of straying further from the prophecies dictating her uncle’s plans, should she make the right choices. They say sorrow always haunt those who walk the dragon’s path, but pain can only be measured by the joy that might be found in its way. A joy unexpected, forbidden, doomed by fate. But Laurane is a Blackwood. Theirs is the blood of the Old Gods, and they have been known for shaping the course of the future. Ravens roamed the skies long before dragons ever came to Westeros, and they are still here after the dragons are all gone.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the Battle of the Five Armies, the elves had retreated to their home in Mirkwood as soon as they were satisfied the orcs were beaten back (if not eliminated). The two fledgling nations at the battleground, however, stood vulnerable. The men of Lake-Town found themselves homeless, forced by the dragon to rebuild their lives out of the crumbling ruins of Dale. To the north, their neighbors the dwarves had retaken the halls of Erebor, now half-destroyed themselves by the dragon's decades of residence. Neither could foot a full army to protect themselves should Gundabad threaten again. Should they turn on each other, destruction was equally assured.

    So the one fully-conscious Durin wrote to the smuggler-turned-ruler of Dale, and made a proposal: join their eldest's hands in marriage, and ally with one another. As soon as possible.

    Summary

    "When you're old enough, I'll make you a match with someone who is worthy of you. Someone who's brave and gentle and strong." - Ned Stark to Sansa Stark

    ***

    The war for the dawn is lost. With no hope left, Bran and Sansa choose to die by their own hands instead of waiting for the White Walkers and their army of the dead. Breathing his final breaths, Bran flies one last time, meets the Bloodraven and grabs at the last chance he hopes would somehow turn defeat to victory.
