After the death of his father, it falls to the just fifteen-year-old Robb Stark to take control of Winterfell and thus the entire North of Westeros. Robb is still fighting for the recognition and respect of his subjects when a civil war breaks out in the realm.

And while the realm is crumbling, a much greater danger is rising in the icy North.
