What If Jon Snow Woke Up at Castle Black the Night Ned Was Arrested

When a raven brings word to Castle Black that Lord Eddard Stark is under arrest in King's Landing, Jon Snow wakes in the dark. The years ahead have come to him all at once. He remembers his father on the scaffold of Baelor's Sept, the Red Wedding, the knives in the courtyard snow, and the Long Night. To save House Stark, Jon breaks confinement and cuts down the wight in the Lord Commander's solar. He then convinces Jeor Mormont and Maester Aemon to send him south as an official envoy of the Night's Watch to claim his father before the headsman's blade falls. In King's Landing, Jon must outmaneuver Littlefinger and Queen Cersei before young Joffrey orders Ned's execution. He searches the back alleys for Arya. Before the Iron Throne, he must keep his temper in check. And on the steps of the Great Sept of Baelor, can he convince the court to spare his father? Jon rides south down the Kingsroad in his black cloak, with memories of years he has yet to live. Behind him, the Wall is silent. Ahead, the road leads to King's Landing and a new future for House Stark.
