Of the five contenders for
power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as alliances
are made and broken. Joffrey sits on the iron throne, the uneasy ruler of of
the seven kingdoms. His most bitter rival, lord stannis, stands defeated and
disgraced, victim of the sorceress who holds him in her thrall. Young robb
still rules the north from the fortress of riverrun. Meanwhile, making her way
across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, daenerys, mistress of
the only three dragons still left in the world. And as opposing forces
manoeuver for the final showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from
the outermost limits of civilization, accompanied by a horde of mythical
others—a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are
unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest
until the seven kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords.
