of Thrones-featuring gorgeous full-page artwork as well as black-and-white illustrations in
every chapter-revitalizes the fantasy masterpiece that became a cultural phenomenon. And now
the mystery  intrigue  romance  and adventure of this magnificent saga come to life as never
before.    A GAME OF THRONES  A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK ONE  With a special foreword by John
Hodgman   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.
