About this deal

After A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and A Storm of Swords, Martin originally intended to write three more books. [26] The fourth book, tentatively titled A Dance with Dragons, was to focus on Daenerys Targaryen's return to Westeros and the associated conflicts. [33] Martin wanted to set this story five years after A Storm of Swords so that the younger characters could grow older and the dragons grow larger. [43] Agreeing with his publishers early on that the new book should be shorter than A Storm of Swords, Martin set out to write the novel closer in length to A Clash of Kings. [36] A long prologue was to establish what had happened in the meantime, initially just as one chapter of Aeron Damphair on the Iron Islands at the Kingsmoot. Since the events on the Iron Islands were to have an impact in the book and could not be told with existing POV characters, Martin eventually introduced three new viewpoints. [44]

A common theme in the fantasy genre is the battle between good and evil, [87] which Martin rejects for not mirroring the real world. [33] Attracted to gray characters, [122] Martin instead endorses William Faulkner's view that only the human heart in conflict with itself was worth writing about. [87] Martin explores the questions of redemption and character change in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. [123] The multiple viewpoint structure allows characters to be explored from many sides, such that the supposed villains can provide their viewpoint. [90] [44] Game of Thrones' author George R.R.

The success is all the more remarkable because [the series debuted] without mass market publicity or any kind of buzz in the fantasy/SF scene. George R. R.

The principal story chronicles the power struggle for the Iron Throne among the great Houses of Westeros following the death of King Robert in A Game of Thrones. Robert's heir apparent, the 13-year-old Joffrey, is immediately proclaimed king through the machinations of his mother, Queen Cersei Lannister. When Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark, Robert's closest friend and chief advisor, discovers that Joffrey and his siblings are the product of incest between Cersei and her twin brother Ser Jaime Lannister, Eddard attempts to unseat Joffrey, but is betrayed and executed for treason. In response, Robert's brothers Stannis and Renly lay separate claims to the throne. During this period of instability, two of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros attempt to become independent from the Iron Throne: Eddard's eldest son Robb is proclaimed King in the North, while Lord Balon Greyjoy desires to recover the sovereignty of his region, the Iron Islands. The so-called "War of the Five Kings" is in full progress by the middle of the second book, A Clash of Kings. The series was translated into 47 languages as of early 2017, and by mid 2019, over 90 million copies of the book were sold worldwide.

The manuscript length of A Feast for Crows eventually surpassed A Storm of Swords. [43] Martin was reluctant to make the necessary deep cuts to get the book down to publishable length, as that would have compromised the story he had in mind. Printing the book in "microtype on onion skin paper and giving each reader a magnifying glass" was also not an option for him. [36] On the other hand, Martin rejected the publishers' idea of splitting the narrative chronologically into A Feast for Crows, Parts One and Two. [10] Being already late with the book, Martin had not even started writing all characters' stories, [46] and also objected to ending the first book without any resolution for its many viewpoint characters as in previous books.

The Tales of Dunk and Egg series, three novellas set 90 years before the events of the novel series, feature the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire "Egg", who later became King Aegon V Targaryen.
