Game Of Thrones

Published in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of George R. R. Martin's landmark series; this lavishly illustrated special edition of A Game of Thrones-with gorgeous full-page illustrations in every chapter-revitalizes the fantasy masterpiece that became a cultural phenomenon. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime; trouble is brewing. The cold is returning; and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell; sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. At the centre of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell; a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a region of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty; here is a tale of lords and ladies; soldiers and sorcerers; assassins and bastards; who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots; tragedy and betrayal; victory and terror; the fate of the Starks; their allies; and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance; as each endeavours to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
