A rescue attempt is launched by Mance Rayder, who was sent south by Jon Snow to rescue "Arya Stark". Mance, under the alias Abel, brings six spearwives with him who are disguised as maids.[3][11] They convince Theon Greyjoy to help them.[12] As they are escaping, Jeyne's scream when one of the Bolton men is killed by Frenya alerts the guards. Jeyne and Theon reach the top of the walls to realize that the rope has been left with one of the spearwives down below. Under attack by guards shooting arrows, Theon grabs Jeyne and jumps from the battlements.[13]

Theon lands on top of Jeyne and breaks some of her ribs.[14] Jeyne and Theon are discovered by Mors Umber, and brought to the main camp of Stannis Baratheon.[15]

The Winds of Winter

After discovering Theon and Jeyne, Mors Umber asks her questions about Winterfell to confirm her identity, such as the names of servants, including the cook and the smith. Having lived at Winterfell, Jeyne is able to answer these questions to Mors's satisfaction. Theon whispers to Jeyne on their trek to Stannis's camp that she must still pretend to be Arya, otherwise she will be nothing to them but a whore. The tip of her nose becomes black from frostbite en route, and she will most likely lose a bit of her nose because of it.

Stannis decides to send "Arya" to the Wall to reunite her with her "brother" Jon Snow, with an escort of six men, the banker Tycho Nestoris and Ser Justin Massey.[14]
