Description

THE INSPIRATION FOR HBO AND SKYS INTERNATIONAL SMASH HIT GAME OF THRONES

Discover the series behind the global phenomenon and the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age with this seven-book collection.
Return to Westeros.

More than a hundred years after the events of HBO and Skys HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, the greatest battle for the Iron Throne began

George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series has set the benchmark for contemporary epic fantasy. Labelled by Time magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world, Martin has conjured a world as complex and vibrant as that of J.R.R. Tolkien, populated by a huge cast of fascinating, complex characters, and boasting a history that stretches back twelve thousand years.

Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war for control of the Seven Kingdoms; the defence of the towering Wall of ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others; and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and the last live dragons in the world.

A Song of Ice and Fire is the inspiration for HBO and Skys Game of Thrones, the most-watched TV series of all time.

The box-set includes:
A GAME OF THRONES
A CLASH OF KINGS
A STORM OF SWORDS, 1: STEEL AND SNOW
A STORM OF SWORDS, 2: BLOOD AND GOLD
A FEAST FOR CROWS
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, 1: DREAMS AND DUST
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, 2: AFTER THE FEAST

Reviews

Of those who work in the grand epic fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best
Time Magazine

Colossal, staggering Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome
SFX

The sheer-mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias.
