Wylis Manderly, a modern-world strategist and vodka enthusiast, awakens in the body of a young noble—heir to White Harbor, the North’s largest city. With Odin, an AI bound to his soul, he finds himself in a world poised on the edge of chaos. A year has passed since the Greyjoy Rebellion, and the North remains strong but vulnerable, isolated from the greater politics of Westeros.
As Wylis grapples with his new identity, he realizes that White Harbor’s potential has long been squandered. Its navy is outdated, its economy stagnant, and its influence limited by Southern disdain. But with his modern knowledge and Odin’s analytical prowess, he sees a path forward—one built on trade, industry, and military innovation.
However, change does not come easily in a land bound by tradition. Wylis must earn his father’s trust, navigate the intricate politics of the North, and ensure that his reforms do not draw the ire of more powerful players in the game of thrones. And all the while, winter looms ever closer.
