The Seven Kingdoms reel from massive battle as new threats emerge from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen sits on her throne in a city of dust and death, her three dragons at her side. Nine thousand enemies hunt for her across the known world, but one young man seeks her for different reasons entirely. At the Wall, Jon Snow takes command as the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. He faces enemies within his own ranks and the creatures of ice gathering beyond the massive barrier. Across the fractured empire, outlaws and priests clash with soldiers and nobles. Slaves rise against their masters while skinchangers work their dark arts. Each character confronts obstacles that seem impossible to overcome. Some will fall in the coming struggles. Others will find power in shadow and betrayal. The conflicts build toward a final confrontation that will reshape the world.
