A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire Book 1)

by George R R Martin – Discussion Lead – Vivienne Beddoe

This is the first volume in the hugely popular and highly acclaimed epic fantasy, A Song of Ice and Fire. There is passion here, and misery and charm, grandeur and squalor, tragedy, nobility and courage. Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime; the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.

It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plot, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men… all will play the Game of Thrones. Winter is coming…

Game of Thrones is available on Booktopia for $11.75 (40% 0ff)
