And a continent away, an exiled queen, the Mother of Dragons, risks everything to lead her precious brood across a hard hot desert to win back the crown that is rightfully hers.Ī Clash of Kings transports us into a magnificent, forgotten land of revelry and revenge, wizardry and warfare. Robert’s two brothers each seek their own dominion, while a disfavored house turns once more to conquest. In the south, Joffrey, the heir apparent, rules in name only, victim of the scheming courtiers who teem over King’s Landing. Eddard’s son Robb has declared himself King in the North. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns, as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms prepare to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war.Īs a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky-a comet the color of blood and flame-six factions struggle for control of a divided land. Two great leaders-Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon-who held sway over an age of enforced peace are dead. The summer of peace and plenty, ten years long, is drawing to a close, and the harsh, chill winter approaches like an angry beast.
