A Storm of Swords – Crow’s Eye

Catelyn hears that Balon Grayjoy has died. His younger brother, Euron, also known as Crow’s Eye, has seized the Seastone chair.
I had a lot to choose from in this one. At first, I was mostly planning on doing a portrait of Euron. However, since he’s not introduced correctly until the next book, I didn’t think this was a good idea. Fortunately, I’m given an action scene where we are shown what Euron does to anyone who crosses him.
This scene had me wondering just about the pacing and how timing works in the book since Catelyn certainly heard about this after Damphair did in the prologue of A Feast for Crows.

“Euron. Crow’s Eye, they call him, as black a pirate as ever raised a sail. He’s been gone for years, but Lord Balon was no sooner cold than there he was, sailing into Lordsport in his Silence. Black sails and a red hull, and crewed by mutes. He’d been to Asshai and back, I heard. Wherever he was, though, he’s home now, and he marched right into Pyke and sat his arse in the Seastone Chair, and drowned Lord Botley in a cask of seawater when he objected. That was when I ran back to Myraham and slipped anchor, hoping I could get away whilst things were confused. And so I did, and here I am.”
