Joffrey, le bâtard illégitime, se terre dans sa capitale, les frères de Robert rallient des troupes à leurs bannières, le fils de Ned a levé son armée et crie vengeance, des pirates razzient les côtes et des brigands pillent les campagnes.

Pourtant il y a toujours autant de prétendants qui briguent la couronne : chacun dans son repaire échafaude des stratégies. Les Lannister multiplient les alliances fragiles, Stannis Baratheon se réfugie toujours davantage dans le culte de Rhllor, le maître de la lumière, et Robb Stark soupire après son fief en lambeaux.
