The previously unpublished story of Westeros and its neighboring lands. With hundreds of pages of new material from George R.R. Martin.

If the past is prologue, then George R.R. Martin's masterpiece – the most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time – deserves an exceptional introduction. Finally, it has arrived with THE WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE.

George R.R. Martin, in collaboration with Elio M. García, Jr. and Linda Antonsson, has written a comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, including the epic battles, bitter rivalries, and bold revolutions that led to the events of the bestselling series A Song of Ice and Fire.

Gathered in this volume is the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and traditional legends of maesters and septons, maegi and singers, featuring over 170 color illustrations and maps, family trees for the Houses Stark, Lannister, and Targaryen, as well as in-depth explanations about the history and culture of Westeros.

This is the definitive companion volume for the impressively designed universe of George R.R. Martin. THE WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE is indeed proof that the pen is mightier than a storm of swords.
