A Game of Thrones

Before you is "A Game of Thrones," the first book of the epic fantasy series by George Martin "A Song of Ice and Fire." A series where magic and mysteries intertwine, intrigues and betrayals, romance and adventures. A series that inspired three HBO shows and has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Over the lands where summer can last for decades and winter can last a lifetime, troubles are brewing. A new winter is approaching, and in the snowy wastelands north of the harsh Winterfell, separated from the civilized world by an impenetrable Wall, ominous supernatural forces are gathering. Meanwhile, far to the south, in the capital King's Landing, the Hand of the King dies under mysterious circumstances. King Robert Baratheon asks his closest friend, the ruler of Winterfell, Eddard Stark, to take the vacant position. Honest, straightforward, but naive Ned moves to the capital and finds himself at the very epicenter of mysteries, intrigues, betrayals, and conspiracies. Thus begins the brutal and treacherous game of thrones. A game in which not every participant will live to see the end.
