For the first time, all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO’s Game of Thrones are together in one eBook bundle. An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin—dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine—international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now this bundle collects the entire monumental cycle in the most convenient format available: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS “One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin l
The fragile peace of Westeros is shattered by the death of the Hand of the King, plunging the realm into a dangerous game of succession and survival. As King Robert Baratheon travels north to Winterfell, the noble House Stark is drawn into the treacherous politics of King's Landing, facing threats both from the icy north beyond the Wall and the ambitious machins of the powerful House Lannister. Across the Narrow Sea, the last scions of the fallen Targaryen dynasty plot their return, seeking to reclaim the Iron Throne through any means necessary. The narrative unfolds across multiple perspectives, detailing the intricate power struggles, betrayals, and burgeoning conflicts that will shape the fate of the Seven Kingdoms.
This epic fantasy series has garnered immense critical acclaim and a devoted readership, often lauded for its intricate plotting, morally complex characters, and realistic portrayal of political power struggles. Critics have frequently compared George R. R. Martin to J.R.R. Tolkien, highlighting his world-building prowess and the depth of his narrative. The series is celebrated for its unflinching depiction of the consequences of war and ambition, eschewing traditional fantasy tropes for a grittier, more grounded approach. Its influence is widely recognized, particularly in its role as the source material for the highly successful HBO adaptation, Game of Thrones.
