Bestselling writer Daniel Abraham and acclaimed illustrator Tommy Patterson brin
g their stunning graphic-novel adaptation of George R. R. Martin's classic "A Ga
me of Thrones "to a stunning finish that merits a place alongside the majestic o
riginal on the bookshelf of every fantasy fan.
The death of King Robert Barath
eon and the imprisonment of his Hand, Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell, has set t
he great houses of Westeros at one another's throats.
In Winterfell, Eddard's
eldest son and heir, Robb Stark, has gathered an army and is pushing south, dete
rmined to free his father. Along the way, he pledges to marry the daughter of Lo
rd Walder Frey in exchange for a military advantage that allows him to capture J
aime Lannister--a powerful bargaining chip to ensure Lord Eddard's safe release.
But it is one thing to capture the Kingslayer and quite another to hold him.
Meanwhile, in King's Landing, young King Joffrey has other ideas than an exchang
e of prisoners. Ignoring the advice of his mother, Queen Cersei, he throws oil o
n the flames of conflict and ignites a conflagration that seems likely to consum
e not only the Starks but all of Westeros--unless Tyrion Lannister, the Imp, can
bring the mad boy-king to heel.
