Chapter 32

Winterfell.

Of all the rooms in the castle, Catelyn’s bedchamber was the warmest—so warm that there was rarely any need to light a fire.

Winterfell was founded atop natural hot springs. Steaming water, like blood coursing through a living body, flowed through the high-walled chambers, driving the chill from the stone halls, filling the glass gardens with warmth and humidity so the soil would not freeze.
