Lady Brienne, known as the Maid of Tarth, continues the desperate quest with which Jaime Lannister charged her. Accompanied by Septon Meribal, Podrick, her faithful squire, and Ser Hyle, she tirelessly surveys the kingdom in search of Sansa Stark. But in the absence of the daughter, it is the mother, Catelyn, that she will find... or at least what is left of her. Because Sansa, since the regicide in which she was involved without her knowledge, has been hiding in the Vale of Arryne, under the identity of Alayne Stone, alleged bastard of Lord Petyr Baelish, Littlefanger. Not for long, however: the latter has concocted a plan which, if it works, should bring the young girl back to the forefront. And while all these Wolves are agitated, Cersei Lannister tries to keep in one piece the empire left by Lord Tywin, her father. Has she not played with fire one time too many by rearming the Faith and its radical ecclesiastics, to say the least? A Feast for Crows, the twelfth volume of Game of Thrones, closes an important chapter in the masterful saga of George R.R. Martin.
