Time is out of joint as a decade of peace ends, giving way to a harsh winter. The deaths of Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, victims of treachery, have thrown the realm into chaos. From Dragonstone to Winterfell, pretenders to the Iron Throne emerge, each vying for control amid turmoil and war. A blood-red comet signals doom as six factions battle for dominance. Eddard's son Robb declares himself King in the North, while Joffrey, the nominal ruler in King's Landing, is manipulated by scheming courtiers. Robert's brothers pursue their ambitions, and a disfavored house seeks conquest once more. Meanwhile, an exiled queen, the Mother of Dragons, embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim her rightful crown. The narrative unfolds in a land rich with revelry and revenge, where maidens flirt with madness, and brothers betray one another. The dead rise, and a princess disguises herself as an orphan boy. A knight concocts poison for a treacherous sorceress, while wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to wreak havoc. Amidst themes of incest, fratricide, and murder, glory comes at a bloody price. The spoils of victory may favor those with the coldest steel and hearts. When rulers clash, the entire land trembles, creating an audacious tale of beauty and enchantment that promises unforgettable excitement.
