A GAME OF THRONES
Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. 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.
Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. 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.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings and a preview of A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel.

5By Bajanboy123I don’t even read, just love Game of Thrones. So i can actually say this book got me into reading. Well done 👏🏼Wait for series completion
1By EyescratcherThe first three books are amazing however don’t bother reading any of them until the lazy author gets off his tail to write the final two books. 7 years have gone by since he’s done anything with the series and the last two books are so lacking in story and plot progression it made you wonder if he had a rambling mental break in front of his typist, who took the vomit to a yes man editor who is too enamored with his paycheck to hold Martin to any standard of quality, and published it anyway.Zezjzbjezjibdb cc
