History
Season 3
When Davos Seaworth helps Gendry escape from Dragonstone island so Melisandre cannot burn him alive as a human sacrifice, he provides him with a small rowing boat and directions. Davos instructs Gendry to follow a certain star in a straight line, which will allow him to travel due west through open water (instead of just rowing to the closest shore at Crackclaw Point, as this would be his most obvious path of escape). Davos explains that after rowing due west for a full day and night; he will want to stop at Rook's Rest, but he should continue on in case Melisandre manages to catch up with him. Davos tells Gendry to instead follow the line of the coast west after Rook's Rest, and he will eventually make his way back to King's Landing.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Rook's Rest is the seat of House Staunton. The map in the fourth novel, A Fest for Crows, misspells the name as "Rooks Rest".
