It’s finally here!! The official release of A Suitable Bride!

In Part A: Chapter One, seventeen year old Sansa Stark has recently arrived in the Capitol, King’s Landing, with her father Ned Stark for her chance to be chosen by the Crown Prince Joffrey as his future wife and queen. Quickly though, she realizes the culture and climate of the South is drastically different than the North and the Prince is not exactly how Sansa imagined him to be. At the same time, Tywin Lannister never expected to be drawn to someone so young, on his passive quest for a second wife. Most shockingly for all parties involved, the Warden of the North has agreed to let the Warden of the West court his eldest daughter! And so the courtship begins. But is it possible for Tywin to recover what ground he’s lost, when minor missteps cool Sansa’s excitement and openness to this marraige proposition?

While this episode is benign in content, somewhere in the realm of PG to PG13 and the featured canon-typical misogyny and sexism notwithstanding, this series is very explicit, so please, be mindful of this and the tags as we proceed.

There are 13 chapters in this Song and it will be broken down into 7 episodes. These sections will be labeled Part A, Part B, Part C, et cetera, as an organizational tool. Each episode will be about sixty minutes or less in run time, so the number of chapters per episode vary. The sound design also varies, is based on the writing and vibes, and was finalized in coordination with our Hero and Singer, Cranberry_Wine.
