A Game of Thrones 7 Book Box Set: A Song of Ice and Fire

More than a hundred years after the events of HBO and Sky's HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, the greatest battle for the Iron Throne began... He is also the author of a song for Lya, songs of stars and shadows, the Armageddon rag, portraits of his children, the sworn sword, the princess and the queen and a clash of kings. A Song of Ice and Fire is the inspiration for HBO and Sky's Game of Thrones, the most-watched TV series of all time. Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war for control of the Seven Kingdoms; the defence of the towering Wall of ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others; and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and the last live dragons in the world.

The book series takes place on the fictional continents Essos and Westeros. The narration of the whole story is from a limited perspective of a number of characters increasing from nine in the first novel, Game of Thrones, to t31 main characters by the fifth novel, A Dance with Dragons. The following books have been released and set in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, within Westeros or other lands in its universe.

and Fire - Premium Limited Edition (Set of 7 Books) Song of Ice and Fire - Premium Limited Edition (Set of 7 Books)

HBOs hit series a game of thrones is based on George R. R. Martin's internationally bestselling series a song of ice and fire, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. The book sale on 29-30 March sold this set at 999 (The price increased soon after). The next time it was for 1170 during 28-30 April (during which I bought this product). Again, on 31st May-1st June, the price went as low was 1200. Filled with vividly rendered set pieces, unexpected turnings, assorted cliffhangers and moments of appalling cruelty, A Dance with Dragons is epic fantasy as it should be written: passionate, compelling, convincingly detailed and thoroughly imagined. The book consists of short stories in many different genres, some of which I would not normally pursue, but I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated every author’s contribution.The first half was okay, but I was completely blown away by the end! Totally unexpected – blew my mind. Can’t wait for Book 8!!! Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best…. [He] is a tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting plotter and a deft and inexhaustible sketcher of personalities…. This is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien. With the television adaptation of Game of Thrones in 2011 , along with its star-studded cast, the fantasy series reached an ever wider audience. Martin published the latest title of the series, A Dance with Dragons, that same year, which also achieved a best-selling status. Immerse yourself into a world of political deception, fire-breathing dragons, ancient families and gripping battles. The series follows the growing threat of mythical beings roaming beyond the unnerving ice wall; the civil war and battle between the great families of Westeros for the throne of the Seven Kingdoms; and the ambition of a young, exiled daughter of the slain King, desperate to claim her birth right.
