Komplottet til prinsessen av Dorne har feilet, og konsekvensene kan føre De syv rikene inn i en ny krig. Jernmennene og Euron Kråkeøye angriper alt de kommer over. Jernflåten er ledet av Victarion Greyjoy, og en elv av blod flyter i deres kjølevann. Cersei faller dypere og dypere inn i paranoia og frykt, og ingen liv er trygge så lenge den ulykkelige Lannister-kvinnen sitter på Jerntronen. I Braavos kjemper Arya Stark for å bli kvitt sitt gamle jeg, men blodlysten er like sterk som før. Tiden er i ferd med å renne ut for maktfaktorene i De syv rikene og en ny trussel begynner å vise sitt sanne ansikt. Nådeløs, blodtørstig og med et hjerte av stein.

BRANDON SANDERSON ________________________________________ A lone astronaut. An impossible mission. An ally he never imagined. Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

Set 300 years before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire, Fire and Blood is the definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros as told by Archmaester Gyldayn, and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil war that nearly ended their dynasty forever. The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO s Game of Thrones. With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally best-selling author George R.R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros. Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why did it become so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What is the origin of Daenerys s three dragon eggs? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

Stark-barna er spredd for alle vinder. Robb Stark er kanskje kongen i nord, men han må knele foran Walder Frey skal han klare å beholde kronen. Arya fortsetter sin farefulle ferd på jakt etter venner og familie, mens Sansa holdes fremdeles gissel av en stadig mer truende kong Joffrey. På den andre siden av Den smale sjøen etterlates byer i blodige ruiner, mens Daenerys Stormfødt fortsetter sin marsj mot Westeros.

Nitti år før hendelsene i EN SANG OM IS OG ILD, er det Hus Targaryen som sitter på Jerntronen. Det har lagt seg en kortvarig fred over De syv riker etter slaget på Rødgressenga, der dragens ekte og uekte sønner kjempet bistert. Dunk er sytten år og nesten to og en halv meter lang og har nettopp blitt salvet til ridder. Med skarpt sverd og et litt sløvt sinn, tar han med seg noen få mynter og setter kursen mot Askemarken for å delta i sin første turnering. På et vertshus møter han en niåring med glattbarbert hode og lilla øyne som krever å bli hans væpner. Egg, som gutten kalles, viser seg å være en intelligent gutt som raskt blir en uvurderlig følgesvenn for Dunk. I Ridderen av De syv riker følger vi Dunk og Egg på tre eventyr i universet George R.R. Martin har gjort verdenskjent gjennom Game of Thrones. Endelig får du vite mer om verdenen bak en av historiens største TV- og boksuksesser.
