Overview
Alys Karstark escapes a forced marriage. Rickard Karstark's daughter loses her betrothed and two brothers in the war; Robb Stark later executes her father. Arnolf Karstark seeks to marry her to his son Cregan and endanger Harrion, the rightful heir. Alys rides north to seek Jon Snow's protection.
At Castle Black, Alys warns Jon of Arnolf's planned betrayal of Stannis. Jon imprisons Cregan and arranges her marriage to Sigorn, Magnar of Thenn. Their new house could claim Karhold if Harrion dies. Melisandre performs the wedding, and Alys crosses a burning ditch with Sigorn.
