The never-before-seen history of Westeros and the lands beyond. With hundreds of webpages of all-new material from George R.R. Martin.

If days gone by is prologue, then George R.R. Martin’s masterwork-the most inventive and interesting fantasy saga of our time-warrants one hell of an introduction. Finally, it has arrived with THE Globe OF Snow AND FIRE.

George R.R. Martin, in cooperation with Elio M. García, Jr. and Linda Antonsson, has written a thorough background of about The Globe of Glaciers and Open fire: The Untold Background of Westeros and the Game of Thrones the Seven Kingdoms, featuring the epic fights, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that business lead up to the events in the bestselling A Track of Snow and Open fire series.

Gathered within this volume is the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and septons, maegi and singers, family trees and shrubs for the Houses Stark, Lannister and Targaryen, and in-depth explanations of the history and culture of Westeros.

This is actually the definitive companion volume to George R.R. Martin’s dazzlingly conceived world; THE WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE is indeed proof how the pen is mightier when compared to a surprise of swords.
