Power, family, and danger in a divided realm

The first volume in George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series sets political rivalries against a world shaped by extreme seasons and the threat of a returning winter. The Starks of Winterfell anchor a wider conflict that spans contrasting regions, from frozen northern reaches to a distant kingdom of abundance. Lords, soldiers, sorcerers, and others become entangled in shifting alliances, betrayal, and supernatural danger. The book brings courtly power struggles and looming threats beyond the Wall into the same broad contest, establishing the series’ central question of who will prevail in the struggle for rule.

Book overview

NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES--THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON

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.
