Opis
Fra bokomslaget:
I en verden der den kommende vinteren kan strekke seg over tiår, kjemper konger og dronninger, riddere og bastarder om Jerntronen, maktsetet i De syv rikene. I nord våkner en eldgammel ondskap, og i sør har en ny prins blitt unnfanget. Midt mellom dem står Lord Eddard Stark alene. Omringet av løgnere og fiender, må han ta avgjørelser som ikke bare setter familien hans i fare, men hele kongeriket. Kampen om jerntronen er det andre bindet i serien, En sang om is og ild, en av verdens mestselgende og anerkjente sagaer gjennom tidene. "...en fabelaktig god og underholdende fortelling på et nivå som stiller det meste annet innenfor denne sjangeren fullstendig i skyggen. Ørjan Greiff Johnsen - Adresseavisen"

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 hi...
