“Here is the third volume
in George R. R. Martin's magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Game of
Thrones and A Clash of Kings. As a whole, this series comprises a genuine
masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to
offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and
transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. Already hailed as
a classic, George R. R. Martin's stunning series is destined to stand as one of
the great achievements of imaginative fiction. 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 averitable storm of swords. . .".
