Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.
As Warden of the north,Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will,not what he must...and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.
The old gods have no power in the south,Stark's family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse,the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.
