HBO?s hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin?s
internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy
epic of the modern age. A CLASH OF KINGS is the second volume in the series.
?Nobody does fantasy quite like Martin? Sunday Times Throughout Westeros, the
cold winds are rising. From the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding
lands of Winterfell, chaos reigns as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven
Kingdoms stake their claims through tempest, turmoil and war. As a prophecy of
doom cuts across the sky - a comet the colour of blood and flame - five factions
struggle for control of a divided land. Brother plots against brother and the
dead rise to walk in the night. Against a backdrop of incest, fratricide,
alchemy and murder, the price of glory is measured in blood.
