Summary
Three men of the Night's Watch, Gared, Royce, and Will, were in the woods scouting. One of the men had a bad feeling about that night. As they continued through the woods they decided for Will to continue on ahead of the others being the most silent of the three. As he continued without the rest he returned shortly after he left with news of a camp containing frozen bodies. So the three decided to head over to the campsite to investigate the bodies. Gared was an elder and had a sense that something was wrong with the night. As they approached the clearing they noticed the bodies were all gone. Ser Royce told Will to climb up a tall tree to keep watch as gared guarded the horses. Gared insisted on a fire knowing it would keep the dead away but Royce did not think it was a good idea. So Royce was surrounded by multiple beings which were the dead bodies Will saw earlier but now they were alive. Gared was right the fire would have repelled these invaders but since there was no fire the white walkers easily killed Gared and Royce but could not find Will so they left him alone. The white walkers were thought to be dead for centuries...
Reaction
I really love the author's writing style in this book. I am having a wonderful time reading the book and I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series once I finish the first. As you progress further into the book it is a well thought out plot that the White Walkers are returning while many houses are fighting for the throne ignoring this dangerous fact. I am anxious to see what happens when the houses finally realize the looming danger.
