An alternate universe, starting with the first book of the south. More focused on the wizards, and mostly centering on Soulcatcher's perspective. The biggest point of departure is that Soulcatcher will be more resistant to Shivetya and Kina's influence, and so act more like she does in the first northern book (more self-controlled).
The Brave Companions weren't the only free company hired by Tywin Lannister.
