The Seven Kingdoms have erupted into war. As rival kings rise to claim the Iron Throne—each believing his right is just—alliances shift, betrayal runs deep, and the realm descends into chaos. In the North, Robb Stark leads a rebellion to avenge his father. On the island of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon embraces a fiery new faith as he declares himself king. Meanwhile, Tyrion Lannister struggles to maintain control in a fractured King’s Landing, and across the sea, Daenerys Targaryen continues her journey to reclaim her birthright. Amid the power struggles of men, darker forces gather beyond the Wall, threatening all of humanity.
