    Summary

    Three hundred years ago, the Great Houses built spaceships, abandoning everyone else to the world's decades-long seasons, never expecting the remaining humans to survive. Those left behind – the earthers, as they came to be called – raced to the edge of extinction and then pulled themselves back, working together with the earth until the seasons settled into the manageable, months-long cycles they should have been all along.

    Now, generations out from the ships' departures, the Lost Ones have come back, looking for safe haven. In order to stay, they must first spend a year with an earther family on the planet, before deciding whether to remain or leave again, this time forever. Brienne Tarth and her father are one of many to take in a family of Lost Ones to live with them for the year.

    Their assigned family? The Lannisters.

    Summary

    As news reaches Winterfell of the ambush by the Iron Fleet, Jaime knows what he has to do, but it turns out to be much harder than he expected it to be.

    He feels numb, dead inside, not unlike how he used to feel sometimes when he stood silently by while Aerys burned someone alive. The last time this happened was during that endless trek to Harrenhal. His hand burned, he wished he could die in truth, and a woman he barely knew snapped at him that he was a coward.

     

    Now he’s leaving that same woman, who he knows intimately in every sense of the word, and it’s almost more than he can bear. Is this worse than the week of agony with Locke’s men, his world reduced to pain, fever, and his lost hand? He can’t even turn around to look at her, because if he does, he won’t leave and he has no choice.

     

    Yes. This is worse.

    Summary

    Game designer Brienne Tarth loves everything about her new job at Westerlands Games—except for the director of operations, Jaime Lannister, who seems to be getting paid to do no work at all. But as the scrappy startup battles a crisis just months before its version 2.0 launch, she learns that with some people, there’s more than meets the eye.

    Summary

    It had all started with what Brienne thought was going to be an innocent, albeit emotional, sleep over. But instead, Margaery had taken her phone and written a note with a serious nod of her head. “I’m on this website. Check it out and explore it as little or as much as you want. If you meet someone you like you can always ask me if I know anything about them and if for some reason I don’t, I will find out everything I can. It’s good to be cautious, but you don’t need to be scared, Brienne.”
