At the Red Wedding, the Stark bannerman Lord Gregor Forrester and his heir Rodrik are killed by the Freys. Lord Forrester's squire Gared is sent to the Wall to escape the revenge of the ascendant Boltons, and his daughter Mira, a lady-in-waiting for the King's bride Margaery Tyrell, looks for support for her family at the court in King's Landing. But the young heir to House Forrester, Ethan, is nonetheless killed by Ramsay Snow, bastard and enforcer of the new Warden of the North, Roose Bolton, in order to gain control of the Forresters' valuable Ironwood reserves. Lady Forrester sends her brother, Malcolm, to search Essos for her son Asher.
  
Soon after, our point of view shifts to young Lord [[Ethan Forrester]] as he, too, must decide how to deal with the consequences of the Red Wedding, which has put [[House Forrester]] under grave peril, for it emboldened both their traditional rivals of [[House Whitehill]] and the feared [[House Bolton]].
