Kill the Boy and let the Man live. Words Jon never thought would be literal. Yet here he is, in Essos and plotting to invade Westeros like his ancestors. Not the South or the North despite his benefactor's wishes. No, he didn't want to sit on the Iron Throne or rule any of the Seven Kingdoms. He wanted the Wall and what lay beyond. He needed the Wall.

Jon Snow, back in the body of a child has but a few years to prepare the North. Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North knows Winter is coming. Together they begin working to keep not only the North safe from Legends that are beginning to stir but also their family from being torn apart by the south.

As the Game of Thrones plays out in the south, in the North another war is fought for much higher stakes. Back in the body of a child, Jon Snow, bastard of Winterfell heads to the wall years before he is supposed to. He knows what is coming and he knows the Wall as it is will not hold. Under his rule, the Nights Watch becomes what it's supposed to be.
