The meeting place was a grassy1 sward dotted with pale grey mushrooms and the raw stumps2 of felled trees. “We are the first, my lady,” Hallis Mollen said as they reined3 up amidst the stumps, alone between the armies. The direwolf banner of House Stark4 flapped and fluttered atop the lance he bore. Catelyn could not see the sea from here, but she could feel how close it was. The smell of salt was heavy on the wind gusting5 from the east. Stannis Baratheon’s foragers had cut the trees down for his siege towers and catapults. Catelyn wondered how long the grove6 had stood, and whether Ned had rested here when he led his host south to lift the last siege of Storm’s End.

Her own liege men thought she was mad even to come. “This is no fight of ours, my lady,” Ser Wendel Manderly had said. “I know the king would not wish his mother to put herself at risk.” “We are all at risk,” she told him, perhaps too sharply. “Do you think I wish to be here, ser?” I belong at Riverrun with my dying father, at Winterfell with my sons. “Robb sent me south to speak for him, and speak for him I shall.” It would be no easy thing to forge a peace between these brothers, Catelyn knew, yet for the good of the realm, it must be tried.

Beneath that mass of pale grey stone, the encircling army of Lord Stannis Baratheon looked as small and insignificant9 as mice with banners. The songs said that Storm’s End had been raised in ancient days by Durran, the first Storm King, who had won the love of the fair Elenei, daughter of the sea god and the goddess of the wind. On the night of their wedding, Elenei had yielded her
