About the book
George R. R. Martin's high fantasy saga unfolds on the invented continents of Westeros and Essos, in a brutal world ruled by political realism, where magic lingers only at the edges. Three strands intertwine: several families wage a dynastic war for control of Westeros, exiled heirs of the fallen Targaryen line plot a return to the Iron Throne, and a supernatural menace called the Others gathers in the far north. Each chapter follows a single limited point of view, and no narrator's survival is guaranteed. Loyalty, pride and the morality of violence recur throughout.
