A Storm of Swords

A Storm of Swords – George R. R. Martin

The Seven Kingdoms are at war, and winter is coming.

A Storm of Swords is the third volume of George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. As the War of the Five Kings rages on, the Lannisters cling to power in King’s Landing, Robb Stark fights to protect the North, and Stannis Baratheon licks his wounds after defeat. Far to the north, beyond the Wall, Jon Snow lives among the wildlings and learns that a vast army is gathering, while something far older and colder stirs in the frozen darkness. Across the narrow sea, Daenerys Targaryen, the last of her dynasty, grows in power with her three young dragons and sets her sights on reclaiming her family’s throne.

Arya and Sansa Stark struggle to survive in a world that has torn their family apart, Jaime Lannister makes a long and unexpected journey home, and Tyrion faces the consequences of his family’s ruthless games. Alliances shift, loyalties are tested and no character is ever truly safe.

Packed with some of the most shocking and memorable scenes in modern fantasy, the novel combines political intrigue, battles, betrayals and richly drawn characters on a vast scale.

Widely considered one of the finest books in the series, A Storm of Swords inspired the third and fourth seasons of HBO’s Game of Thrones. It is essential reading for fans of epic fantasy and anyone who wants to experience the story in its original, unforgettable form.
