About the book

The World of Ice & Fire is a companion volume to the fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, presented as a history of Martin's invented world. It is narrated from the viewpoint of a maester living within that world, and it deliberately imitates a real history book, so its sources sometimes disagree with one another. The account traces the Seven Kingdoms from the prehistoric Dawn Age to the period just before the main novels begin. Family trees, maps and artwork by many illustrators accompany the newly written material.
