STORY NOW
Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plot, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond.
Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men... all will play the Game of Thrones.
From the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding halls of Winterfell chaos reigns as pretenders to the Iron Throne prepare to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil and war.
As a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky - a comet the colour of blood and flame - five factions struggle for control of a divided land. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of glory is measured in blood.
For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.
The Seven Kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud as winter approaches like an angry beast. Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavour, and still the war for the Iron Throne rages more fiercely than ever.
Alliances are made and broken, but if the Wall is breached, no king will live to claim it.
After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. The war has burned itself out but in its bitter aftermath new conflicts spark to life.
In this war-torn landscape of the Seven Kingdoms, where the bloodthirsty, the treacherous and the cunning thrive, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel and the coldest hearts.
The future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance. In the east, Daenerys, last scion of House Targaryen, rules as queen of a city built on dust and death, beset by enemies. To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone - a structure only as strong as those guarding it. On all sides bitter conflicts are reigniting, and the tides of destiny will inevitably lead to the greatest dance of all...
