A Song of Ice and Fire

Overview

Set in the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, A Song of Ice and Fire is a sprawling epic of power, betrayal, war, and survival. As noble houses vie for control of the Iron Throne, ancient forces stir in the North, threatening to engulf the world in darkness. From the cold Wall in the far north to the sun-scorched lands of Essos, the series follows a vast cast of characters—lords and ladies, knights and assassins, bastards and queens—whose fates intertwine in a brutal game where loyalty is rare and victory often comes at a terrible cost. With complex politics, morally grey characters, and shocking twists, the series redefines the boundaries of fantasy fiction.
