Arya and the Hound return to the Inn at the Crossroads, where they meet some of the Mountain’s men. Trouble ensues, leaving three dead and the Hound mortally wounded. Arya refuses him mercy and leaves him to die. Finally, she uses her mysterious iron coin to earn her passage out of Westeros. Simon and Mackelly wish Arya a bon voyage.
 
Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane (AKA the Hound) find themselves back at the Inn at the Crossroads. As soon as they enter, Arya knows there’s trouble. She recognizes two of Gregor Clegane’s men: Polliver and the Tickler. They’re accompanied by a young squire. The men recognize the Hound.

The soldiers fill them in on news of the realm: King Joffrey is dead, Sansa Stark killed him, and Sansa’s sister has been found. The Hound finds that last bit funny but doesn’t share why. When the Tickler wants Sandor to come with them to Harrenhal, chaos breaks out. Sandor has his hands full fighting Polliver and the Tickler. Arya is distracted by the fighting and is surprised by the squire. She turns and stabs him with a dagger. The Hound kills Polliver and Arya stabs the Tickler repeatedly. Sandor makes Arya finish the squire off. She pulls Needle from Polliver’s belt and slides it into the boy’s heart.

The next day the Hound is unable to continue riding to Saltpans due to his injuries. He wants mercy from Arya, and spews horrible things at her to get her to do it. She leaves him to die on the side of the road and continues to Saltpans. At the port town, she sells Craven and tries to buy passage on a ship for Eastwatch. The ship is going to Braavos, and she doesn’t have the funds to catch a ride. She pulls out the iron coin Jaqen H’ghar gave her and utters "Valar Morghulis." The shocked captain offers her passage and her own cabin.

Arya continues to plot the Hound’s death but never goes through with it. She has a wolf dream that convinces her that her mother is dead. The Hound changes the target of his plan to ransom Arya. Then changes the target again. Arya has a third family member in mind to deliver her to. Simon and Mackelly hope Arya is getting rewards points for the miles she’s logging.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane (AKA the Hound) continue to ride together, despite what transpired at the Twins. Arya’s head hurts from the axe blow the Hound gave her to prevent her from entering the castle to find her mother. However, that’s nothing compared to the hurt she feels in her heart, after being so close to her mother and then having the reunion ripped away. Arya isn’t convinced that her mother is dead and wants to go back. The Hound is having none of it. When Arya has a wolf dream where she finds her mother and drags her body out of the river, she is convinced that her mother is indeed dead.

The Hound finally tells Arya where they’re headed. He plans to ransom her to her aunt Lysa Arryn. The pair stop in a village in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon, where the Hound is hired to help build a palisade around the village. The Hound’s ransom dreams are once again shattered when he learns that getting through the mountains is an impossibility due to attacks from the mountain clans. He’s also told that he and Arya must leave now that the palisade walls are constructed. The Hound decides it’s back to the Riverlands for them. He’s going to ransom Arya to her uncle Blackfish instead.

Arya and the Hound become aware of what might be going down inside the Twins. He gives her the brutal truth. They are attacked by three Frey knights. They survive because of his skills. But she still wants to see for herself. He stops her in less-than-gentle fashion. Mackelly and Simon give up trying to fix this poor broken child.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane (AKA the Hound) discover that the eastern castle of the Twins isn’t closed after all, as the guard said it was. Arya fights a smile of excitement and anticipation for the reunion with her mother and brother. However, those feelings are quickly squashed when the Hound knocks her to the ground in an attempt to hide her. Frey knights pour from the castle and chaos begins to reign in the camps. The feast tents have become flaming infernos.

Three Frey knights ride toward Arya and the Hound. The Hound takes on two, and the other tries to corral Arya. She’s confused, the Freys are her brother Robb’s friends, why are they attacking people? Before she can consider the question much longer, the Hound puts an ax through the skull of the knight chasing her, having already dispatched the other two knights.

The Hound bluntly tells Arya her family is dead and they must flee. Arya isn’t convinced. She wants to enter the castle and at least look for her mother. The camps are now a butcher’s field, and the Hound gives her an ultimatum. She flees now with him or stays and dies. Arya slips past him and runs for the rising drawbridge. The Hound charges after her on the back of Stranger. His ax takes her in the back of her head.

Arya and the Hound arrive at the twins disguised as farmers bringing salt pork to the wedding. Arya keeps looking for a friendly face to reveal herself to, but it’s all strange sigils and strangers. It shouldn’t a be problem though - Clegane is determined to hand her over to her family personally. Mackelly and Simon join the revelry.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane arrive at the Twins in a farmer's wagon, towing the Hound’s fearsome warhorse Stranger behind. They’re first challenged by a contingent of knights who ask their business. Arya is dutifully silent while Sandor describes their cargo (salt pork and pigs feet), but leaving out the part where they stole the meat and the cart from an unlucky farmer. Stranger is explained as a wedding gift from Lady Whent.

They’re waved through and the Hound laughs that Ser Donnel Haigh ought to have recognized him (although Clegane kept his face hooded) as Haigh had repeatedly lost to the Hound in tourneys. 

In the encampment of soldiers on the east bank, Arya looks for familiar sigils and friendly faces, but doesn’t see anyone she knows or trusts. She hears a toast to a Queen Jeyne, a name she’s never heard before. She suggests turning themselves in to the nearest northmen, but Clegane ditches the disguise and leads her towards the castle.

Characters/Places/Names/Events:

Arya and the Hound brave the rapids of the Trident. Arya tries many and varied ways to escape or kill the Hound, all without success. Eventually she discovers that their goals are more aligned than she thought. The Kingsroad awaits ahead, and beyond that, the Twins and Arya’s family. Mackelly and Simon buckle-up their life jackets.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane (AKA the Hound) are quoted an exorbitant rate to be ferried across the swollen Trident. Arya thinks it’s the Blackwater Rush, assuming the Hound is taking her back to King’s Landing. When the pair reach the far side of the river, after a wild ride, the Hound pays the rate with the IOU provided to him by the Brotherhood Without Banners when they took his gold. The ferryman isn’t happy, and the Hound figures that’ll prevent him from taking paper promises from any future patrons.

The Hound learns that Arya met his brother Gregor, when Gregor had taken her captive and marched her to Harrenhal. The Hound gets a kick out of the idea that Gregor had such a prized possession and didn’t realize it. The Hound tells Arya of how he saved Sansa from danger during the riot of King’s Landing and tells Arya that if she behaves they’ll make much better time. When the Hound asks Arya where she thinks they’re going, she realizes it’s not King’s Landing like she thought. It turns out he’s taking her to the Twins. He plans to ransom her to her family and hopes to be handsomely rewarded for his efforts. If they hussle, they might even make it in time for her uncle’s wedding.

Arya and the Brotherhood Without Banners hear about the prophetic dreams of the Ghost of High Heart. Arya also hears news of her family’s history that shocks and angers her. Thoros of Myr’s vision halts their progress toward Riverrun. Finally, the Hound makes off with Arya. Mackelly and Simon fire up the search lights.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark, Gendry, and the Brotherhood Without Banners, have made their way back to High Heart. While there, they meet with the Ghost of High Heart. She tells them of her dreams. Some seem clearer than others. One thing she makes clear is that if the Brotherhood wants to reunite Arya with her mother, Riverrun isn’t the place to go. Catelyn and King Robb have left for a wedding at the Twins.

The next day, Beric Dondarion’s young squire Ned tells Arya of his connection to her bastard brother Jon Snow. He says they are milk brothers, as his wet nurse Wylla was Jon’s mother. It turns out Ned is actually Edric Dayne, lord of Starfall. He explains how his aunt Ashara and Arya’s father Ned were once in love long ago, and how Ashara killed herself over a broken heart. Arya doesn’t want to hear about it and rides off. 

That evening, Thoros of Myr sees a vision in the flames of Riverrun under siege by a Lannister army. This news causes lord Beric to pause their progress toward Riverrun until more information can be gathered. An upset Arya runs off. However, she’s wet and cold and turns back, only to be intercepted by the Hound.

Arya takes in a battle between the Brotherhood Without Banners and the Brave Companions. Gendry makes a big decision that upsets Arya. The Hound shows up out of the blue wanting his gold back but the Brotherhood has already spent it. Finally, Beric promises to return Arya to her family. Mackelly and Simon wonder if she can make it to her family in time to attend her uncle’s wedding.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Gendry take in a battle between the Brotherhood Without Banners and the Brave Companions, from the safety of a ridge. When the smoke clears, the surviving Brave Companions are given a speedy trial and then hung from a tree. Septon Utt wasn’t spared that fate, as he was charged with crimes against young boys.
After dinner, Beric Dondarion and Thoros of Myr tell Arya that Beric has died and been brought back to life six times. Thoros says it’s all the work of R’Hellor. He can’t explain why it’s happening. Beric also promises to safely return Arya to her family, but he’s going to require gold in return.
Gendry surprisingly offers his services to the Brotherhood as a blacksmith, much to the dismay of Arya. Beric knights Gendry and accepts him into the group. Right then, the Hound unexpectedly crashes the party. He’s looking for the gold the Brotherhood took from him before they set him free. Beric breaks the news to him that the gold is gone. They spent it on food and supplies for the small folk of the Riverlands. He takes stalk of everyone in the room, then leaves without a word.

Arya and Co. finally meet Beric Dondarrion. He gives Sandor Clegane a trial-by-combat, which the Hound wins. But Dondarrion is dead for only a brief moment. Mackelly and Simon do a head-whip double-take with everyone else.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark, Gendry, and their companions from the Brotherhood Without Banners reach a secret hideout where Thoros of Myr, Beric Dondarrion, and the higher-ups of the Brotherhood reside. The other prisoner, Sandor Clegane is brought before the Brotherhood, where a list of accusations is leveled against him. None really hold water.
Thoros was known to the Hound as a false priest, but the Myrhenese insists that he really has found his true calling now. The rest of the Brotherhood seem to be firm believers in R'hllor. Lord Beric, a battered version of the man that Arya recalls Jeyne Poole swooning over, grants the Hound a trial by combat.
Dondarrion’s sword bursts into flames when he slices his own palm with it. Scaring the pyrrophobic Hound. The battle ebbs and flows, but a huge Clegane blow breaks the burning sword and cuts through Beric’s kneck down into his chest killing him instantly. The Hound puts out the flames that threaten to engulf him, while Dondarrion’s body is dragged away by his followers. Arya tries to take matters into her own hands, but is restrained. She tells the Hound to go to hell, to which a revived Dondarrion replies “he has."

Arya and company ride into Stoney Sept. She finds some of her own kind and puts them out of their misery. She uses the powers of deduction to determine what’s unique about the inn she’s spending the night in. The next morning her prayers are mysteriously answered by the arrival of a Lannister prisoner. Mackelly and Simon light a candle to the Father.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark, Gendry, and their companions from the Brotherhood Without Banners find themselves in the town of Stoney Sept, on their hunt for Beric Dondarion and Thoros of Myr. The town is run by a man called the Mad Huntsman. The huntsman has taken to torturing those who run afoul of the law. Currently, several northmen are dead or dying in crow cages in the town square. Arya, feeling a kinship to the men, gives each some water before Anguy puts an arrow through them.
The group then stops at an inn called The Peach, where they’re treated (some reluctantly) to baths, fresh clothes, food, and entertainment. Arya, observing the scene in the common room, realizes it’s no ordinary inn. The Peach is a brothel. She meets a girl who claims to be the daughter of King Robert. Arya also meets an old man who wants to get to know her better. He’s run off by Gendry, but Arya accidentally offends Gendry and he sends her to her room.
The next morning the group is awoken by the barking of many dogs. The Mad Huntsman has returned with a Lannister prisoner. Gendry wonders if it’s Jamie. However, when Arya sees the man’s face, she knows it’s not the Kingslayer. Instead, it’s an answer to a prayer.

Arya and Gendry are not taken to Riverrun, rather they are escorted south to meet with Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr. En route Arya tries to escape, but Harwin - a Stark bannerman, no less - chases her and captures her. Oh perfidy! Mackelly and Simon discuss the origin story of the Brotherhood Without Banners.

Chapter Review:
Hot Pie has elected to stay and become head baker at the Inn of the Kneeling Man. Arya Stark and Gendry are headed to Riverrun. Only, they’re headed in the wrong direction. Arya is sure. She’s accompanied by Harwin, amongst others, so she hears how things have been for him since he left King’s Landing. Not all rainbows and unicorns.

The Mountain lay in wait for them at the Mummer’s Ford and decimated two thirds of Dondarrion’s force. Beric himself was gravely wounded but was nursed back to health by Thoros of Myr. The latter is a priest of R’Hellor, and seems to use the power for slightly nicer things than his compadre Melisandre does.

The Brotherhood Without Banners, as they term themselves, has decided to stay in the field, not to fight for either side, but to protect the smallfolk from the armies that abuse them. They do this in the name of King Robert. Arya tries to escape, but Harwin’s father was the master of horse, so he catches her. His loyalty is to Beric, Thoros, and his new brothers. The Lightning Lord will decide what to do with Arya.

Arya sits in as the Freys express concern about King Robb’s chances of success, now that House Tyrell has joined with House Lannister. She unknowingly learns her impending wedding is off. And she escapes Harrenhal for Riverrun with Gendry and Hot Pie. Simon and Mackelly saddle up for the ride.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark blends into the background of Lord Roose Bolton's chambers, while a large group of Frey men suggest that King Robb has lost the war and must kneel to the Lannister. Roose points out that King Robb has won every battle he’s entered into against the Lannisters. The Freys remind him that Tywin Lannister’s army has expanded greatly since their alliance with House Tyrell. She then receives the devastating news that Winterfell has been taken and Bran and Rickon killed.

When the Freys leave, Roose dictates a letter to Helman Tallhart, who has taken Castle Darry. He wants Tallhart to put Darry to the torch and then march on Duskendale, alongside Robett Glover. Arya’s tasked with cleaning Roose’s chambers, while he leaves for a wolf hunt. During her chores, she finds a map showing Riverrun’s location compared to Harrenhal. It’s not too far away.

After a trip to the godswood, Arya returns to serve Roose his dinner and wine. He tells her that she will stay in Harrenhal when he leaves and serve Vargo Hoat. Arya then makes her way back to the godswood. However, on her way she comes across Elmar Frey. He’s upset that due to a dishonor to his house he won’t be marrying the princess he’s been betrothed to. Neither of them realize that Arya is that princess.

In the godswood, she prays to the heart tree for direction. A wolf howls in the distance. She takes that as a sign it’s time to rejoin her family. She talks Gendry into coming with her, and sends him to fetch Hot Pie. Arya kills the guard at a postern gate, and the trio ride for Riverrun.

Characters/Places/Names/Events:
Arya Stark - Younger daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark.
Gendry - Friend of Arya. Former armorer’s apprentice. Bastard son of King Robert Baratheon. Working in the Harrenhal smiths.
