A blood-and-flame-colored comet slashes across the sky. Due to royal betrayal, two outstanding leaders who ruled over an era of enforced peace—Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon—have perished. Chaos now rules everywhere, from the storied stronghold of Dragonstone to the ominous beaches of Winterfell. Amidst chaos, conflict, and storms, six groups fight for dominance over a split territory and the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms.
This is a story about a brother betraying his brother and about the dead coming back to life at night. Here, a knight of the mind concocts a poison for a cunning sorceress; a princess assumes the disguise of an orphan boy; and wild men emerge from the Mountains of the Moon to terrorize the surrounding area. Against a background of alchemy and murder, fratricide and incest, the men and women with the coldest steel...and the coldest hearts—may win. For the entire country quakes when monarchs fight.
