    Threadmarks: Chapter 11: A King’s Hour

    For eleven days after the striking frame broke, the clock stood without its weights while the craftsmen fitted the new supports and enclosed the drops. Woods kept the workroom key at night; Luwin held the spare. The new ash came in split, so the carpenter could examine the grain before he shaped...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 20: The Falcon’s Road

    Ser Gawen of Willow Creek lost his last hope of Vale service when his lance broke against Ser Morton Waynwood's shield. He reached after the blow instead of letting it go. His weight passed the saddle bow, the brown mare took another stride and Gawen fell hard on his back. A hoof struck close...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 19: The Hart in the Pines

    Bran wanted the antlers. He had heard Farlen speak of a hart's tracks beside the wolfswood road, and now he kept both hands spread above his head while Robb buttered an oatcake. "Antlers," he said again, leaning towards his brother. "If we find him," Robb promised. Theon took the last crisp...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 18: The Blue Cord

    Myr gave Viserys and Daenerys one night beneath Narbo Vhassyl's roof and no second. The merchant had offered Viserys coin, rooms, and the use of shipmasters who still remembered dragon banners. In return, Daenerys would be raised behind his gates and one day wed his son. Her brother might visit...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 17: The Mill Field

    On the household's first morning in the new house, Robb came downhill before dawn expecting swords. Two lanterns burned above House Black's gate, and beyond them four files of six were gathering. Their coats varied from new black wool to old brown cloth dyed until the seams showed purple. Jon...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 16: Twenty-Five Places

    Eleven weeks after the boar hunt, Elspeth came out of House Black's new kitchen with a sooty broom. Soot streaked her cap and both cheeks. Smoke had filled the room during the first hearth trial. "There is something in that flue," she told Jon. He sent Woods up to inspect it before Elspeth lit...

    Jon came up from the building ground with mud dried to both knees. The first sill lay square upon the stone pads, and Woods had left two men fitting the next. Wylla had been below since dawn with Elspeth, bent over the plan on a trestle beside the timber. They had settled where the kitchen...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 14: Beyond the Walls

    The stableman's wife came after the last lord had ridden out. Catelyn saw her waiting beneath the gallery while the guest yard emptied around her. She wore a brown cloak mended at both elbows and held a good wool cap between hands roughened by lye. A raw-boned boy stood at her shoulder. He had...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 13: Boys of the Long Summer

    Robb wanted a platform inside his fort. He stood on an overturned basket to show Jon how high it ought to be. From there he could see over the hurdle Tomas was holding, across the cut barley and as far as the mill road. He could also look down on Jon, which he was plainly enjoying. "I could...

    Osric returned through Winterfell's east gate with four tired mules, two damp bales, a leather case swollen with great names and a Lannister factor in a red cloak gone nearly black with rain. The bay had lost a shoe on the kingsroad. Osric had led it through the last village to have another...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 10: The Crow’s Price

    The following year, Bran Stark announced himself to Winterfell with a cry strong enough to reach the covered gallery. Robb had waited outside the birthing room since dawn. Sansa sat with her sewing in Septa Mordane's lap and asked every half-hour whether babies always required so much time...

    Daenerys remembered Braavos by a red door swollen with rain. On the last morning Ser Willem Darry could still sit upright, six loose jewels lay beside Queen Rhaella's crown. His cough spotted the linen in his fist. He made Viserys count what each stone might buy while Daenerys divided one boiled...

    That harvest, Robb learned the northern houses by the mud they brought into Winterfell. The Karstark horses shed black peat under the gate. Pale clay came from the Umbers, along with two long-legged dogs no one had invited and a baggage wagon whose axle shrieked at every turn. The Mormont...

    The practice clock stood under a slatted ash cover at the end of Winterfell's family table. It ticked steadily enough in the warm hall, but had lost nearly a quarter of an hour overnight. Jon had been adjusting it since before dawn. He spread butter on his oatbread while Robb crouched beside the...
