Part One: Steel And Snow.
Split into two parts, George R R Martin's superb and highly acclaimed epic fantasy 'A Song Of Ice And Fire', the richest, most exotic and mesmerising saga since 'The Lord Of The Rings', continues with 'A Storm Of Swords Part One'. The seven kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud, and winter approaches like an angry beast. Beyond the Northern borders, wildlings leave their villages to gather in the ice and stone wasteland of the Frostfangs. From there, the renegade Brother Mance Rayder will lead them South towards the Wall.The men of the Night's Watch are ready for the coming of a great cold and the walking corpses that travel with it. But now they face a horde of wildlings twenty-thousand strong - hungry savage people steeped in the dark magic of the haunted wilderness - poised to invade the Kingdom of the North where Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown. Robb's sisters are lost, dead or likely yet to die at the whim of the Lannister boy-king Joffrey. Across the sea, the last of the Targaryens rears the dragons she hatched from her husband's funeral pyre, ready to avenge the murder of her father, the last Dragon King on the Iron Throne.
