Clarification. Before ordering this book, check the availability of this copy! Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell, Hand of King Robert Baratheon, has made many enemies in King's Landing. Ser Jaime Lannister and his sister, Queen Cersei, openly threaten Stark. Other haters hide behind the masks of friends. But Eddard will soon realize that no one can be trusted. The reasons for the enmity between the noble houses of Stark and Lannister abound: Tyrion Lannister, the Bes - in whose stunted, mutilated body the mind of a genius is hidden - miraculously managed to free himself from the captivity of Lady Catelyn Stark, Eddard's wife, who accused him of trying to kill her son, Brandon. Far to the north, bastard Jon Snow, recently sworn in as the Night's Watch, is taking his first steps towards what will be a fate far stranger than he could have imagined, facing unimaginable horrors from the far north. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen, married to the great Dothraki leader Khal Drogo and carrying his child - a son prophesied to conquer the world - realizes that her fate will soon take an unforeseen upheaval.
