Born the son of Brandon Stark "The Wild Wolf" and Serena Umber, Brandon's lover whom he married without his father's consent,  who would sadly die in childbirth, the new Lord of Winterfell and Warden of North will be faced with many challenges. Will Alaric Stark succumb to the weight of ruling the north, or will he rise higher than even his ancestors since before the last Stark King knelt before the Conqueror?

Hey guys, this is my first attempt at an ASOIAF fic and while I have watched the show and read the books it has been a while so please bear with me!
This story will feature a mix of elements from both the books and show.
As a disclaimer, this story is an AU, there are two branches of House Stark that descend from the twin sons of Artos Stark and there will be no white walkers.

Along with web novel, I will be posting this story on AO3 under the same name.

I do not own anything pertaining to ASOIAF except for my OCs.

Before we jump in to the beginning of the books, I wanted to make this poll to see y'all's opinions on if I should have the white walkers in this story or not


I will say that if y'all choose no Others, then the story will become a true AU and most dialogue from the books will be different, just to let yall know.


Chapter 44 - new poll
