A
Storm of Swords
Of the five contenders for
power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the
wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and
broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron
Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven
Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands
defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous
sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young
Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the
fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised
Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at
King’s Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile,
making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the
exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons
still left in the world....
But as opposing forces
maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of
barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of
civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical
Others--a supernatural army of the living dead whose
animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the
land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the
Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of
swords. . .
