Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Perfect for fans of A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO’s Game of Thrones—an epic history of Westeros and the lands beyond, featuring hundreds of pages of all-new material from George R. R. Martin! If the past is prologue, then George R. R. Martin’s masterwork—the most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time—warrants one hell of an introduction. At long last, it has arrived with The World of Ice & Fire. This lavishly illustrated volume is a comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, providing vividly constructed accounts of the epic battles, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that lead to the events of A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO’s Game of Thrones. In a collaboration that’s been years in the making, Martin has teamed with Elio M. García, Jr., and Linda Antonsson, the founders of the renowned fan site Westeros.org—perhaps the only people who know this world almost as well as its visionary creator. Collected here is all the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and septons, maegi and singers, including • full-color artwork and maps, with more than 170 original pieces • full family trees for Houses Stark, Lannister, and Targaryen • in-depth explorations of the history and culture of Westeros • 100% all-new material, more than half of which Martin wrote specifically for this book The definitive companion piece to George R. R. Martin’s dazzlingly conceived universe, The World of Ice & Fire is indeed proof that the pen is mightier than a storm of swords.

Book excerpt: Continue the Chronicles of the Ordained Saga with The Blessing! The Secundus’s reign met a fiery end during the Time of Separation. Once more, the night sky bears only one moon, but the cost of peace has been steep. Witheleghe broke from the physical plane that once connected the realm to the outside world to protect the kingdom from Asmeodai. There is no way in or out of the Witheleghe except through the mighty fortress—Nottesdone. Scarladin also suffered. Cyaika's attack saw Yucca burn, and the cathedral crumble. The following years were marked by an uneasy peace secured through the alliance between Witheleghe and Scarladin. To strengthen the fragile bond between the two kingdoms, there has been a betrothal of King Darius’s eldest daughter, Saoirse, to King Edulf’s heir, Mithelk. A marriage destined to happen for both kings have sworn a Meitfe Oath that their children would marry. The children have grown up beside each other within Nottesdone, but the tension between kings has not lessened. King Edulf has been unforgiving toward the Flandigana king, believing King Darius has deceived him once too often. Yet, King Edulf does not dare oppose the wielder of Vaellyn magic. King Darius has his own worries, but none greater than the persistent whispers that Asmeodai still walks and threatens all in his path. King Darius has done all within his power to ensure that the line of those chosen to be the Ordained will not falter. The fate of both kingdoms depends upon those chosen few, and the trials ahead will test their resolve and unity like never before. Against the backdrop of lies and deceit, murder and betrayal, the Ordained face their greatest challenge. For when Asmeodai returns this time, there is no one safe from his wrath. Follow the sweeping fantasy adventure entrenched in royal intrigue, powerful foes, and magical exploits. Beware—the saga contains sword & sorcery, dragons and fleogans, and witches and wizards.

Book excerpt: Upon the Secundus, seven hundred years of war finally came to an end with the Reckoning when the demon, Asmeodai, was imprisoned by the Ordained, those chosen among the three realms to protect its people. That was until the next Secundus when Cyaika released him. Freed, he intends to devour all in his path to open the gate between the world of the living and the demons of Hades. He will not rest until he has his revenge on the three realms. In his wake, Asmeodai left Nennius a desert, and the Darkening fell upon Witheleghe, leaving only Scarladin untouched by his wrath. Kela Calledwelle has been born with a destiny, a Euchoun whose one purpose in life is to protect. She must summon the courage to face the path fate has dictated to her. She knows her parents made the ultimate sacrifice to give her and her siblings a chance to live. Yet, in so doing, they have left their children unprepared to face the danger that awaits—Asmeodai.

But something evil, ancient and unknowable gnaws at the heart of the empire. Dark gods, trapped for centuries in thrice-warded tombs, have been disturbed by Roman plunderers. A secret war is fought daily between those who would harness this strange power for themselves, and those who fear it signals the very end of the empire. Across the sea, roused from eternal slumber by a world awash with war, by omens and pagan slaughter, a Great Old One waits for the way to be opened. A cosmic terror that man was not meant to know. Those who know its name tremble, and only the very brave-or very foolish-incant it for their own ends. They whisper it in darkness; they cry it from atop blasted hills; they scream it to the raging oceans. "Cthulhu...†?

Book excerpt: It is 1895 and the future depends not upon the actions of governments but upon those of the Adventuring Companies, and will be shaped by countless engagements in city streets, ancient ruins, dense jungles, high mountains and boundless deserts. In America, good men fight to preserve their hard-won liberty and the great drive west is stalled by Native American mystics and powerful outlaw gangs.

Book excerpt: For the first time, all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO’s Game of Thrones are together in one eBook bundle.

Martin—dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine—international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now this bundle collects the entire monumental cycle in the most convenient format available: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS “One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys. “Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times

Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Six, The Winds of Winter Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire. A DANCE WITH DRAGONS A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind. Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever. Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice. From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.
