‘A blockbuster with brains and heart’ Washington Post
‘The Night’s Watch takes no part in the wars of the Seven Kingdoms. Our oaths are sworn to the realm, and the realm now stands in dire peril’
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, new threats are emerging from every direction. To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Jon Snow has been elected Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. But Jon has enemies both inside and beyond the Wall.
And in the east Daenerys Targaryen struggles to hold a city built on dreams and dust.
