The last night fell black and moonless, but for once the sky was clear. “I am going up the hill to look for Ghost,” he told the Therns at the cave mouth, and they grunted1 and let him pass. So many stars, he thought as he trudged2 up the slope through pines and firs and ash. Maester Luwin had taught him his stars as a boy in Winterfell; he had learned the names of the twelve houses of heaven and the rulers of each; he could find the seven wanderers sacred to the Faith; he was old friends with the Ice Dragon, the Shadowcat, the Moonmaid, and the Sword of the Morning.

The white wolf never howled, yet something drew him to the heights all the same, and he would squat7 there on his hindquarters, hot breath rising in a white mist as his red eyes drank the stars. “Do you have names for them as well?” Jon asked, as he went to one knee beside the direwolf and scratched the thick white fur on his neck, “The Hare? The Doe? The She-Wolf?” Ghost licked his face, his rough wet tongue rasping against the scabs where the eagle’s
