Summary:

When the Master of Death closed her eyes for the last time, she expected to greet Death as an old friend and finally find the long-overdue peace she deserved.

Reborn as Frigga Stark, the only child and heiress of Lord Ellard, the girl who was once Iolanthe Potter must navigate a world where magic heresy. Her childhood is a struggle of reconciliation as she adjusts to a woman's life in a patriarchal society while her magic hums beneath her skin.

But the North is a hard land and Frigga is no longer a martyr. Seeing the vultures circle her father’s seat, she uses her past-life cunning to solidify her claim as the first ruling Lady of Winterfell, outmaneuvering ambitious uncles and traditionalist lords alike.

When King Jaehaerys I shatters tradition by binding the North to the Crown, Frigga finds herself matched with the most volatile man in the realm: Prince Daemon Targaryen. The Rogue Prince arrives expecting a submissive and boring Northern bride, but he quickly discovers that while he rides a dragon, his wife holds the powers of a god.

And yet, there is no hope for respite: when it comes to the game of thrones, you either win or you die.
