Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin introduces a world of political intrigue, betrayal, and looming danger. In the icy north, Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in the name of King Robert Baratheon, whose death sets off a chain of events that will tear the kingdom apart. As rival houses vie for control of the Iron Throne, secrets unfold, and families are torn apart. From the cold winds of the north to the treacherous politics of King’s Landing, the battle for power threatens to consume all. Meanwhile, across the sea, the exiled Targaryens plot to reclaim their lost throne, setting the stage for war and chaos.
Summary of Game of thrones pdf by George R.R Martin
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. The story of the book takes place in the fictional continent of Westeros where there are seven kingdoms ruled by one king, Robert Baratheon. Later in the series, however, the King dies and his hand comes to the knowledge about the truth of his children bring bastards of his brother in-law Jaime Lannister who was having incest with his sister Cersei Lannister.
The hand of King Ned Stark tries to expose the truth but he is captured in the streets of King’s Landing for conspiring against the crown. He is then advised to confess his crimes and get a royal pardon which he does but the new King orders his death anyway. This leads to the war of the five kings later in the 2nd book.
