A comet the color of blood and flame cuts across the sky.
And from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of
Winterfell, chaos reigns. Six factions struggle for control of a divided land
and the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, preparing to stake their claims
through tempest, turmoil, and war. It is a tale in which brother plots against
brother and the dead rise to walk in the night. Here a princess masquerades as
an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous
sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the
countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder,
victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel . . . and
the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.

This is the second book in the Game of Thrones series. Martin weaves a detailed story, full of colorful characters, broken alliances, great heros, vile villians, and even zombies. While he may kill of many good characters, the ones who survvive grow stronger and more full of emotion.
