Chapter Forty-Eight - Jaime 1 - A Dance with Dragons | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

Chapter Review:
Jaime Lannister arrives at Raventree Hall and tries to bring an end to hostilities between the Brackens and the Blackwoods. Good luck with that! Jonos Bracken wants several pounds of flesh as his payment for delivering the Blackwoods to the King’s Peace. Jamie points out that besieging is only a step on that road and that he, Jamie, is here to end the siege.

Inside the castle, he treats with Tytos Blackwood. Jamie has a bit more respect for the lord of House Blackwood, but demands considerable recompense and a hostage for the Blackwood’s treason.

With the hostage in tow, he heads back to Riverrun en route to King’s Landing. They stay the night in Pennytree, where Brienne of Tarth arrives looking for Jamie. She has found the Stark girl, but Jamie must come alone and immediately, otherwise the Hound will kill her.
