Description
Here is the first book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece.
A GAME OF THRONES
In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
A GAME OF THRONES • A CLASH OF KINGS • A STORM OF SWORDS • A FEAST FOR CROWS • A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
Advance Praise
"Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best. In fact...this is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien."-Time
"George R.R. Martin has created the unlikely genre of the realpolitik fantasy novel. Complete with warring kings, noble heroes and backroom dealings, it's addictive reading."-Rolling Stone
"Martin's‘A Song of Ice and Fire' series is that rare, once-in-a-generation workof fiction that manages to entertain readers while elevating an entire genre to fine literature."-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"What's ‘A Song of Ice and Fire'? It's the only fantasy series I'd put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. It's a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don't read fantasy."-Chicago Tribune
"‘A Song of Ice and Fire' is firmly at the top of the bestseller lists, probably because it's the best fantasy series out there."-Detroit Free Press
"Martin has created a full, rich and interesting world filled with colorful characters... If you're looking for a thick and delicious book to curl up with on rainy and cold fall evenings, this is just the ticket."-Portland Oregonian
"Once and a while, there are books and writers that manage to elevate an entire genre. George R.R. Martin's ‘A Song of Ice and Fire' series has taken fantasy out of the two dimensional, black and white realm where itonce happily existed and dragged it kicking and screaming into a land of believable characters, ambiguous situations, and bloody, sometimes uncertain denouements."-Denver Post
