A Storm of Swords 1: Steel and Snow – George R.R. Martin

Book Three, Part One of A Song of Ice and Fire

The Seven Kingdoms are divided by blood feud as winter approaches like an angry beast. The men of the Night’s Watch prepare for the great cold and the walking corpses that travel with it. But a horde of hungry savage people steeped in the dark magic of the haunted wilderness are poised to invade the North where Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown. Robb’s sisters are lost, dead or likely yet to die at the whim of the Lannister boy-king Joffrey. Across the sea, the last of the Targaryens rears the dragons she hatched from her husband’s funeral pyre, ready to avenge the murder of her father, the last Dragon King on the Iron Throne.

The richest, most exotic and mesmerising saga since The Lord of the Rings continues with A Storm of Swords.

“Colossal, staggering… Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome in his imaginary world.” – SFX
