Send us a text

Theon Greyjoy has been tortured and abused into being Ramsay Bolton’s latest Reek. He’s going to be a part of Ramsay’s plans to gain Winterfell by facilitating and witnessing Ramsay’s wedding to Arya Stark. Simon and Mackelly are busy that day.

Chapter Review:
Reek has caught a rat and is eating it raw when the Walders Frey come to his dungeon. He’s been summoned to attend his master Ramsay Bolton. Theon could overpower the two children, but he’s tried escaping previously and it ended up with his fingers and toes being flayed.

In the hall of the Dreadfort two northern lords attend Ramsay who claims that Reek was a gift from his father when Ramsay was a child. But the lords recognize Theon Greyjoy.

Ramsay tells Theon that they’re going to clean him up and that they ride to war so that Ramsay can marry Arya Stark. Reek is thrilled to be of service.
