No more than two moons after the birth of the twin princesses, twelve catspaws attempted to kill the Good Queen and Prince Rickon in broad daylight at the Craftsman's Square in Wintertown. Ghost, the King's direwolf, had torn down three assassins, and Shadow, the Prince's direwolf, took down another. Jyanna Snow and the Queen's Ladies-in-Waiting killed three, while the last five were ganged upon by the nearby smallfolk who scrambled to help their queen. Four of them were beaten to death, while the last survived, albeit heavily battered by the time the city watch arrived.
