Daenarys story

She and her army land in Dorne and plans to march right to Kingslanding. However she and her team hear about what happened to the Sept of Balor and realize that not only is the wild fire still under the city but that Cercie is crazy enough to use it. Dany changes her plans and decides to march up the coasts conquering the Westerlands, Iron Islands, and Stormlands. While this is going on Daenarys and her people are trying to figure out how to take the capital without destroying it. Complicating matters is infighting within her ranks. Tyrion will hear about what the Sands did to his niece and want revenge. While he might be willing to put revenge on hold for Dany the Sands have shown that they want to kill all Lannisters. The Sands try to take out Tyrion and this the excuse he needs to remind people that Lannisters pay their depts. Dany also has to deal with keeping the Dothraki from burning the whole country to the ground and winning over the common people, both of which turn out to be harder then she though it would be. Dany also has to deal with the House Stark. Jons sends her a message making it clear he doesnt want to fight her but he and his subjects will not bow to her. Daenarys advisiors tell her attacking the North in winter is suicide. This is especially true for the forces she brought with her from Essos. They have no experiance fighing in winter conditions. The snows alone would wipe out most of her army. Dany has to face the possibilty that she many only end up ruling half of Westeros

Starks story

Once word reaches the north of all the that has happened in Kingslanding many, including Sansa, will push for Jon to head south and take out the Lannisters before they attack the North. Before a decision is made both Bran and Arya arrive. After killing Walder House Fray fell into chaos as the remaining sons and grandsons began fighing each other. Arya breaks Edmure out of the dungeon and together (maybe with his wife and son) head north. Arya planed on ditching Edmure but runs into the red woman first. She plans on killing her but when Melisandra tells her that Gendry is still alive and she brought Jon back from the dead Arya spares her life. After learning that Jon and Sansa have retaken Winterfell Arya heads back home to see them. Bran reaches the Wall and the Nights Watch bring him in. He realizes the Night Kings mark is still on him and has Edd cut off his arm. He realizes that all this did was buy time as the magic of the wall is starting to fade and in a few months will be gone. The Watch take him back to Winterfell. Bran and Arya arrive at around the same time and there is a major reunion (cue tears). Bran gets him, Jon,Arya, and Sansa alone and tells them the truth about Jon. Everyone is floored especially Jon who feaks out a little but Sansa talks him down. Jon tells the truth to his bannerman and Howland Reed (there to see Meera) confirms it. Jon makes it clear he doesn't want the Iron Throne just to stop the White Walkers. Bran, Arya, and Sansa show their support and this is enough for the rest to keep backing Jon. When word reaches the North or the Targaryen invation Jon realizes the dragons could be the wepon they need to beat the Army of the Dead. He decided to head south to retake the Riverlands and help Dany take Kingslanding as a show of good faith and to form an alliance with her. He has to deal with not only beating the Lannister armies in the field but internal issues. Littlefinger is determined to take out Jon and works to undermine him. Sansa decides that what ever her issues with Jon he is family and works to take out Littlefinger. Arya joins with her sister while Bran stays in the North to prepare the defenses for the White Walker attack. Jon also has to deal with many of his supporterd having no interest with submitting to Targaryen rule again and many wanting pay back against the Grayjoys for attacking them. Jon again has to form an alliance with a group his supporters would rather see dead.
