“Love is sweet, dearest Ned, but it cannot change a man’s nature.”
Lyanna Stark was the third child of Rickard and Lyarra Stark. A wild beauty, her love of winter roses hid a strong will, which her father called “the wolf blood”. During a tourney at Harrenhal, she competed under the disguise of the Knight of the Laughing Tree before being crowned Queen of Love and Beauty by Rhaegar Targaryen. Her following abduction by the prince led to Robert’s Rebellion. She died at the Tower of Joy in her brother Eddard’s arms.
