A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS “One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

In "A Game of Thrones," witness the political scheming, treachery, and brutal power struggles that grip the realm.

In "A Clash of Kings," the seeds of war are sown as rival claimants stake their claims to the throne. Amidst the turmoil, alliances are forged, loyalties are tested, and the lines between friend and foe blur. The fate of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance as armies clash on the battlefield, and the Iron Throne remains a coveted prize.
In "A Storm of Swords," the war intensifies as the Lannisters tighten their grip on power. The Starks face devastating losses, and the fate of Westeros seems to be slipping through their fingers. New alliances are formed and old ones crumble, while the threat of the White Walkers grows stronger. The realm is torn apart by civil war, and the future of the Seven Kingdoms is uncertain.
In "A Feast of Crows" and "A Dance with Dragons," the political landscape shifts once again as new players emerge and old alliances crumble. The Lannisters face challenges from within their own ranks, and the Tyrells rise in power. Meanwhile, Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled princess, gathers her forces and prepares to claim her rightful throne. As the realm is plagued by war, famine, and intrigue, the fate of Westeros hangs in the balance.
