A Game Of Thrones Books
After The Endgame
It is the phenomenon that has united a planet. It is the most fervently debated, most speculated, most anticipated event perhaps ever in the history of entertainment.
As screens worldwide tremble for the last time to the beat of dragon wings, the curtain falls on HBO’s remarkable adaptation of George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy A Song of Ice and Fire, A Game of Thrones. But for fans of the series, there’s plenty more to discover. Still unfinished, the source - the finest fantasy writing since the passing of J.R.R. Tolkien - is still unfolding. Readers can rest safe in the knowledge that for George R.R. Martin, the fabled genuine end is still yet to come...
Read the Books in Order
The branching canons and miscellanies of genre fiction are commonplace to stalwart fans (Frank Herbert's Dune series, anyone?) but the unusual running order of A Song of Ice and Fire has been known to put off newcomers to the series. Have no fear though, the publishing order of the books is still the most sensible reading order.
Winter is Coming
Guides, games and gifts for all fans.
Set 300 years before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire, Fire and Blood is the definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros as told by Archmaester Gyldayn, and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through to the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil war that nearly ended their dynasty forever.
The HBO-Inspired Editions
With millions of fans watching the HBO show, the artistic direction of the series has defined much of the visiual identity for the newer audience. To mark the success, HarperCollins publishers introduced a set of the books with show-inspired cover art.
Our brief when we started working on a new look for A Song of Ice and Fire was to create covers that are beautiful, epic and would hint at the world George R. R. Martin has created. George’s books cover so much - family, relationships, politics, war - and we wanted the new look to reflect this epic scale. A key part of the brief was that the books should also appeal to readers who may have heard of or seen Game of Thrones, the HBO show based on the series, but aren’t familiar with the books yet."

Readers fatigue - the malady most feared by book lovers - is common to so many long series. Never A Song of Ice and Fire, however. Martin's is a story as broad as it is lengthy with action, scope and intrigue so, when embarkling on your reading odyssey, take no half steps and bound in. This Game of Thrones box set bundles together all five books, two of which are split into halves, and is the box set for book devourers. We're out of stock online but you can click and collect your set at your local shop.
