A Game of Thrones

George R. R. Martin

1996

"O verão pode durar décadas. O inverno, toda uma vida. E a guerra dos tronos começou. Como Guardião do Norte, lorde Eddard Stark não fica feliz quando o rei Robert o proclama a nova Mão do Rei. Sua honra o obriga a aceitar o cargo e deixar seu posto em Winterfell para rumar para a corte, onde os homens fazem o que lhes convém, não o que devem... e onde um inimigo morto é algo a ser admirado. Longe de casa e com a família dividida, Eddard se vê cada vez mais enredado nas intrigas mortais de Porto Real, sem saber que perigos ainda maiores espreitam a distância. Nas florestas ao norte de Winterfell, forças sobrenaturais se espalham por trás da Muralha que protege a região. E, nas Cidades Livres, o jovem Rei Dragão exilado na Rebelião de Robert planeja sua vingança e deseja recuperar sua herança de família: o Trono de Ferro de Westeros."--
