on HBO. Now acclaimed novelist Daniel Abraham and illustrator Tommy Patterson
bring George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy masterwork A Game of Thrones to
majestic new life in the pages of this full-color graphic novel, comprised of
the initial six issues of the graphic series. Winter is coming. Such is the
stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe
allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard
Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace
and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his
daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north,
behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things
relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real
and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat
lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under
mysterious circumstances. 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 him: his
beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys. Read more
