For when rulers clash, all of the land feels the tremors. And the spoils of victory may just go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel…and the coldest hearts. And a continent away, an exiled queen, the Mother of Dragons, risks everything to lead her precious brood across a hard hot desert to win back the crown that is rightfully hers.Īgainst a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of glory may be measured in blood. Robert’s two brothers each seek their own dominion, while a disfavored house turns once more to conquest. In the south, Joffrey, the heir apparent, rules in name only, victim of the scheming courtiers who teem over King’s Landing. Eddard’s son Robb has declared himself King in the North. As a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky-a comet the color of blood and flame-six factions struggle for control of a divided land.
