A divided realm and competing claims

The second book in George R. R. Martin’s series shifts the struggle for the Iron Throne into a conflict involving six factions across the Seven Kingdoms. The publisher’s description places events between Dragonstone and Winterfell, with political scheming and war alongside supernatural threats, including the dead walking at night. It also points to disguises, poison, alchemy, murder, and rivalries within families as part of the upheaval. The book’s scope connects power struggles among individual claimants to instability across the wider land, where control remains contested and the consequences reach beyond the throne itself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers continuing the series after A Game of Thrones.
  • Readers interested in epic fantasy centered on rival claims to power and political conflict.
  • Readers comfortable with descriptions involving murder, family betrayal, and supernatural threats.

Book overview

THE BOOK BEHIND THE SECOND SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES, AN ORIGINAL SERIES NOW ON HBO.

Here is the second book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece.

A CLASH OF KINGS

A comet the color of blood and flame cuts across the sky. And from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns. Six factions struggle for control of a divided land and the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, preparing to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war. It is a tale in which brother plots against brother and the dead rise to walk in the night. Here a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel . . . and the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.
