Praise for George R. R. Martin andA Song of Ice and Fire
“One of the best series in the history of fantasy.” — Los Angeles Times
“Long live George Martin… a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.” — The New York Times
“The only fantasy series I’d put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings… It’s a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don’t read fantasy.”— Chicago Tribune
“Martin amply fulfills the first volume’s promise and continues what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written.” — The Denver Post, on A Clash of Kings
“Martin has produced—is producing, since the series isn’t over—the great fantasy epic of our era. It’s an epic for a more profane, more jaded, more ambivalent age than the one Tolkien lived in.” — Lev Grossman,Time

在这个四季时序错乱，长时酷暑或又寒冬十年的世界，残酷、黑暗的一系列宫廷斗争，相互厮杀，不会停歇。远在南方的七大王国国王劳勃突然造访北方的临冬城，会见城主、也是同他从小一起长大的挚友--艾德，这不是简单的叙旧，而是想让他担任七大王国的首相。其实在终年冰封的北境，艾德与妻儿也过着与世无争的生活，这次到访无疑让艾德千思万绪，一切的秘密在一封密信中爆发。前首相琼恩·艾林的死因，矛头全指向了劳勃的皇后，望族的瑟曦，为了支援劳勃，艾德投入了这一场宫廷的漩涡中。
In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

The morning had dawned clear and cold, with a crispness that hinted at the end of summer. They set forth at daybreak to see a man beheaded, twenty in all, and Bran rode among them, nervous with excitement. This was the first time he had been deemed old enough to go with his lord father and hisbrothers to see the king’s justice done. It was the ninth year of summer, and the seventh of Bran’s life.
The man had been taken outside a small holdfast in the hills. Robb thought he was a wildling, his sword sworn to Mance Rayder, the King-beyond-the-Wall. It made Bran’s skin prickle to think of it. He remembered the hearth tales Old Nan told them. The wildlings were cruel men, she said, slavers and slayers and thieves. They consorted with giants and ghouls, stole girl children in the dead of night, and drank blood from polished horns. And their women lay with the Others in the Long Night to sire terrible half-human children.
But the man they found bound hand and foot to the holdfast wall awaiting the king’s justice was old and scrawny, not much taller than Robb. He had lost both ears and a finger to frostbite, and he dressed all in black, the same as a brother of the Night’s Watch, except that his furs were ragged and greasy.
The breath of man and horse mingled, steaming, in the cold morning air as his lord father had theman cut down from the wall and dragged before them. Robb and Jon sat tall and still on their horses, with Bran between them on his pony, trying to seem older than seven, trying to pretend that he’d seen all this before. A faint wind blew through the holdfast gate. Over their heads flapped the banner of the Starks of Winterfell: a grey direwolf racing across an ice-white field.
