THE INSPIRATION FOR HBO AND SKY’S 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 Sky’s 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 Sky’s Game of Thrones, the most-watched TV series of all time.

Great books, couldn't stop reading.

Great series of books, however when I received the box set the box was ripped and no good!
