Daenerys breaks the masters’ siege of Meereen with dragon fire, destroys their fleet, and gains a crucial Greyjoy alliance. In the North, Ramsay kills Rickon to bait Jon into a trap, nearly crushes the Stark army, and loses Winterfell only after Sansa’s secret call brings the Knights of the Vale.

The battle turns on strategy, rage, and hidden leverage: Jon’s courage is not enough, Sansa’s judgment saves the field, and Littlefinger’s help comes with consequences. Winterfell returns to Stark hands, but the victory leaves Rickon and Wun Wun dead, Ramsay destroyed by his own cruelty, and new political dangers waiting inside the win.
