‘Characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias’ Guardian

‘Tears: the woman’s weapon, my lady mother used to call them. The man’s weapon is a sword. And that tells us all you need to know . . . ‘

Throughout Westeros, the cold winds are rising.

From the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding lands of Winterfell, chaos reigns as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms stake their claims through tempest, turmoil and war.

Five factions struggle for control of a divided land. Against a backdrop of incest, fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of glory is measured in blood.

‘Effortless large-scale storytelling and a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter’ Telegraph

‘If you’re watching GAME OF THRONES, you’re forgoing the great pleasure of Martin’s deft prose’ Time

‘When times are tough, there is no better distraction than these magical tales’ Guardian

‘Martin has not only raised the bar for writers of epic fantasy but pushed and stretched the boundaries of the novel itself’ The Times

‘Fantasy fiction’s equivalent to THE WIRE’ Telegraph

‘Complex storylines, fascinating characters, great dialogue, perfect pacing, and the willingness to kill off even his major characters’ LA Times

‘Mr Martin is a literary dervish, bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers’ New York Times
