The Winds of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire, #6)

George R.R. Martin

The Winds of Winter is the forthcoming sixth novel in the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. The previous installment, A Dance with Dragons, covered less story than Martin intended, omitting at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliffhangers. Martin intends to resolve these cliffhangers "very early" in The Winds of Winter, saying "I'm going to open with the two big battles that I was building up to, the battle in the ice and the battle at Meereen—the battle of Slaver's Bay. And then take it from there."

George R.R. Martin

These never-before-collected adventures recount an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living consciousness. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience.

Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.

Fevre Dream

George R.R. Martin

When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something’s amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove. Marsh meant to turn down York’s offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolve—coupled with the terrible force of York’s mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare...and mankind’s most impossible dream. Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampire’s quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous riverman’s dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.

In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind. Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever. Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice. From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

From George R. R. Martin's Introduction to Warriors: "People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories. Since Homer first sang the wrath of Achilles and the ancient Sumerians set down their tales of Gilgamesh, warriors, soldiers, and fighters have fascinated us; they are a part of every culture, every literary tradition, every genre. All Quiet on the Western Front, From Here to Eternity, and The Red Badge of Courage have become part of our literary canon, taught in classrooms all around the country and the world. Our contributors make up an all-star lineup of award-winning and bestselling writers, representing a dozen different publishers and as many genres.

You will find warriors of every shape, size, and color in these pages, warriors from every epoch of human history, from yesterday and today and tomorrow, and from worlds that never were. Some of the stories will make you sad, some will make you laugh, and many will keep you on the edge of your seat." Every story in this volume appears here for the first time. Included are a long novella from the world of Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, a new tale of Lord John by Diana Gabaldon, an Emberverse story by S.M.

George R.R. Martin

The perfect gift for fans of George R. R.

My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer, and I have my mind . . . and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge.” The jealous masses of the Seven Kingdoms may call him Halfman, but none have ever accused Tyrion Lannister of being a halfwit. His golden tongue has saved his skin slightly more often than it has landed him in mortal peril. Now, this special illustrated volume preserves his most essential knowledge for future generations, featuring time-tested guidance on such varied subjects as . . . The art of persuasion “The best lies are seasoned with a bit of truth.” Fine dining “A little honest loathing can be refreshing, like a tart wine after too much sweet.” The fair sex “The young ones smell much better, but the old ones know more tricks.” Royal politics “Crowns do queer things to the heads beneath them.” Common ailments “A sword through the bowels. A sure cure for constipation.” At once charming, insightful, and ruthlessly irreverent, The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister is short on pretense and overflowing with finely crafted gems—just like the man himself.

The Ice Dragon

George R.R. Martin

The ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember. Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara's home. And only a winter child--and the ice dragon who loved her--could save her world from utter destruction. The Ice Dragon marks the highly anticipated children's book debut of George R.R. Martin, the award-winning author of the New York Times best-selling series A Song of Ice and Fire and is set in the same world. Illustrated with lush, exquisitely detailed pencil drawings by acclaimed artist Yvonne Gilbert, The Ice Dragon is an unforgettable tale of courage, love, and sacrifice by one of the most honored fantasists of all time.

George R.R. Martin

Librarian note: An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found here. The future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance. In King’s Landing the Queen Regent, Cersei Lannister, awaits trial, abandoned by all those she trusted; while in the eastern city of Yunkai her brother Tyrion has been sold as a slave. From the Wall, having left his wife and the Red Priestess Melisandre under the protection of Jon Snow, Stannis Baratheon marches south to confront the Boltons at Winterfell. But beyond the Wall the wildling armies are massing for an assault… On all sides bitter conflicts are reigniting, played out by a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves. The tides of destiny will inevitably lead to the greatest dance of all.

A Dance with Dragons 1: Dreams and Dust (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5, Part 1 of 2)

George R.R. Martin

In the aftermath of a colossal battle, new threats are emerging from every direction. Tyrion Lannister, having killed his father, and wrongfully accused of killing his nephew, King Joffrey, has escaped from King’s Landing with a price on his head. To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Eddard Stark's bastard son Jon Snow has been elected 998th 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.

A Song of Ice and Fire, 7 Volumes (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1-5)

George R.R. Martin

For the first time, all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO's "Game of Thrones "are together in one boxed set. An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin--dubbed "the American Tolkien" by "Time" magazine--international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now here is the entire monumental cycle: A GAME OF THRONESA CLASH OF KINGSA STORM OF SWORDSA FEAST OF CROWSA DANCE WITH DRAGONS Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse--unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister--the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki--whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys."

Pairing Up (Wild Cards #31)

George R.R. Martin

Superheroes and villains battle over the human heart in this delightful anthology featuring brand-new stories from a wide range of contributors, all set in the Wild Cards universe, where an alien virus mutates some and grants superpowers to others, created by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones. An alien virus ravages the world, its results as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Nevertheless, human nature reigns supreme. And one of the most enduring human drives is the search for love. Aces and jokers alike both want to find it, or have lost it . . . or perhaps just want to use it for personal gain. Within these stories, you will find love, Wild Cards-style: crazy, unconventional, touching, strange, and oh-so-familiar. Among these tales are: - a jewel thief seduces a popular actor just so she can track down a long-lost treasure- a teenager trapped in the body of a giant snail attempts to win his love � la Cyrano de Bergerac- a man discovers his purpose in life after meeting a beautiful butterfly woman- a young hero who has been awarded the hideous name of Hero McHeroface finds some solace in the arms of an astrologer hiding her own unique powers Pairing Up is the Wild Cards take on love--finding it, seeking it, losing it, or achieving it--as aces and jokers enter into the highest stake game of all: gambling on their heart's desire.

A Tormenta de Espadas (As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo, #5)

George R.R. Martin

Os Sete Reinos estremecem quando os temíveis selvagens do lado de lá da Muralha se aproximam, numa maré interminável de homens, gigantes e terríveis bestas. Jon Snow, o Bastardo de Winterfell, encontra-se entre eles, debatendo-se com a sua consciência e o papel que é forçado a desempenhar. Todo o território continua a ferro e fogo. Robb Stark, o Jovem Lobo, vence todas as suas batalhas, mas será ele capaz de vencer as mais subtis, que não se travam pela espada? A sua irmã Arya continua em fuga e procura chegar a Correrrio, mas mesmo alguém tão desembaraçado como ela terá dificuldade em ultrapassar os obstáculos que se aproximam. Na corte de Joffrey, em Porto Real, Tyrion luta pela vida, depois de ter sido gravemente ferido na Batalha da Água Negra, e Sansa, livre do compromisso com o rapaz cruel que ocupa o Trono de Ferro, tem de lidar com as consequências de ser segunda na linha de sucessão de Winterfell, uma vez que Bran e Rickon se julgam mortos. No Leste, Daenerys Targaryen navega na direcção das terras da sua infância, mas antes terá de aportar às cidades dos esclavagistas, que despreza. Mas a menina indefesa transformou-se numa mulher poderosa. Quem sabe quanto tempo falta para se transformar numa conquistadora impiedosa?

A Fúria dos Reis (As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo #3)

George R.R. Martin

Quando um cometa vermelho surge nos céus de Westeros encontra os Sete Reinos em plena guerra civil. Os combates estendem-se pelas terras fluviais e os grandes exércitos dos Stark e dos Lannister preparam-se para o derradeiro embate. No seu domínio insular, Stannis, irmão do falecido Rei Robert, luta por construir um exército que suporte a sua reivindicação ao trono e alia-se a uma misteriosa religião vinda do oriente. Mas não é o único, pois o seu irmão mais novo também se proclama rei, suportado por uma hoste que reúne quase todas as forças do sul. Para pior as coisas, nas Ilhas de Ferro, os Greyjoy planeiam a vingança contra aqueles que os humilharam dez anos atrás. O Trono de Ferro é ocupado pelo caprichoso filho de Robert, Joffrey, mas quem de facto governa é a sua cruel e maquiavélica mãe. Com a afluência de refugiados e um fornecimento insuficiente de mantimentos, a cidade transformou-se num lugar perigoso, e a Corte aguarda com medo o momento em que os dois irmãos do falecido rei avancem contra ela. Mas quando finalmente o fazem, não é contra a cidade que investem... O que os Sete Reinos não sabem é que nada disto se compara ao derradeiro perigo que se avizinha: no distante Leste, os dragões crescem em poder, e não faltará muito para que cheguem com fogo e morte!

O Despertar da Magia (As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo #4)

George R.R. Martin

A Guerra pelos Sete Reinos continua sem tréguas ou misericórdia. Com um golpe negro mágico, Stannis afastou do seu caminho o irmão rival Renly, e agora nada o impede de conquistar Porto Real, pela força, com a sua frota. Mas Tyrion, eleito a Mão do Rei, tem outros planos e, embora todos o subestimem pela aparência, prepara com sangue frio a defesa da cidade e a confrontação com Stannis numa batalha que se adivinha sanguinária. No Norte, Winterfell encontra-se à beira do perigo e é alvo da cobiça dos Greyjoy, mas Bran nada consegue ver para além dos estranhos sonhos que o atormentam de noite e dia. Para lá da muralha, Jon oferece-se para acompanhar um grupo de batedores enviado para encontrar os selvagens, enquanto a principal força da Patrulha da Noite se fortifica junto às montanhas. Se quer sobreviver, Jon terá que aprender a ser tão cruel como a terra assombrada habitada pelos selvagens. Mais uma vez, George R. R. Martin consegue manter-nos agarrados até à última página. Personagens que amamos são mortas sem dó nem piedade, personagens que odiamos conseguem conquistar o nosso coração. De Arya a Sansa, de Robb a Daenerys, todos terão um papel fulcral neste fabuloso quarto volume de As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo.

A Guerra dos Tronos (As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo, #1)

George R.R. Martin

Quando Eddard Stark, lorde do castelo de Winterfell, recebe a visita do velho amigo, o rei Robert Baratheon, está longe de adivinhar que a sua vida, e a da sua família, está prestes a entrar numa espiral de tragédia, conspiração e morte. Durante a estadia, o rei convida Eddard a mudar-se para a corte e a assumir a prestigiada posição de Mão do Rei. Este aceita, mas apenas porque desconfia que o anterior detentor desse título foi envenenado pela própria rainha: uma cruel manipuladora do clã Lannister. Assim, perto do rei, Eddard tem esperança de o proteger da rainha. Mas ter os Lannister como inimigos é fatal: a ambição dessa família não tem limites e o rei corre um perigo muito maior do que Eddard temia! Sozinho na corte, Eddard também se apercebe que a sua vida nada vale. E até a sua família, longe no norte, pode estar em perigo. Uma galeria de personagens brilhantes dá vida a esta saga. Entre eles estão o anão Tyrion, a ovelha negra do clã Lannister; John Snow, um bastardo de Eddard Stark que, ao ser rejeitado pela madrasta, decide juntar-se à Patrulha da Noite, uma legião encarregue de guardar uma imensa muralha de gelo a norte, para lá da qual cresce uma assustadora ameaça sobrenatural ao reino. E ainda a princesa Daenerys Targaryen, da dinastia que reinou antes de Robert Baratheon, que pretende ressuscitar os dragões do passado e, com eles, recuperar o trono, custe o que custar.

A Muralha de Gelo (As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo #2)

George R.R. Martin

Estes são tempos negros para Robert Baratheon, rei dos Sete Reinos. Do outro lado do mar, uma imensa horda de selvagens organizou-se para invadir o seu reino. À frente deles está Daenerys Targaryen, a última herdeira da dinastia que Robert massacrou para conquistar o trono. E os Targaryen são famosos pelo seu rancor e crueldade... Mais perto, para lá da muralha de gelo que se estende a norte, uma força misteriosa manifesta-se de maneira sobrenatural. E quem vive à sombra da muralha não tem dúvidas: os Outros vêm aí e o que trazem é bem pior do que a própria morte... Ainda mais perto, na Corte, as conspirações continuam. O ódio entre as várias Casas aumenta e desta vez o sangue vai jorrar. E quando parece que nada pode piorar, o rei é ferido mortalmente numa caçada. Terá sido um acidente ou um assassinato? Seja como for, uma coisa é certa: a guerra civil vem aí! George R. R. Martin prova porque é o maior escritor de fantasia da actualidade. Com uma imaginação poderosa, escrita inteligente e personagens cativantes, volta a deixar o leitor rendido e a ansiar por mais. Se gosta de um romance histórico épico, de um thriller arrepiante, de uma aventura emocionante, de uma fantasia credível e, em suma, de uma grande leitura... então este livro é para si.

George R.R. Martin

Powieść "Nawałnica mieczy" to trzeci tom cyklu Pieśń Lodu i Ognia. "Stal i śnieg" to część pierwsza tomu trzeciego. Siedem królestw rozdarła krwawa wojna, a zima zbliża się niczym rozwścieczona bestia. Ludzie z Nocnej Straży przygotowują się na spotkanie z wielkim chłodem i żywymi trupami, które mu towarzyszą. Do inwazji na północ, której świeżo wykutą koronę nosi Robb Stark, szykuje się jednak horda głodnych, dzikich ludzi władających magią nawiedzanego pustkowia. Siostry Robba zaginęły, nie żyją albo w każdej chwili mogą zginąć na rozkaz króla Joffreya z rodu Lannisterów. A za morzem ostatnia z Targaryenów wychowuje smoki, które wykluły się na pogrzebowym stosie jej męża, gotowa pomścić śmierć ojca, ostatniego ze smoczych królów zasiadających na Żelaznym Tronie.

Tormenta de espadas (Canción de hielo y fuego, #3)

George R.R. Martin

Las huestes de los fugaces reyes de Poniente, descompuestas en hordas, asuelan y esquilman una tierra castigada por la guerra e indefensa ante un invierno que se anuncia inusitadamente crudo. Las alianzas nacen y se desvanecen como volutas de humo bajo el viento helado del Norte. Ajena a las intrigas palaciegas e ignorante del auténtico peligro en ciernes, la Guardia de la Noche se ve desbordada por los salvajes. Y al otro lado del mundo, Daenerys Targaryen intenta reclutar en las Ciudades Libres un ejército con el que desembarcar en su tierra. Martin hace que lo imposible parezca sencillo. Tormenta de espadas confirma Canción de hielo y fuego como un hito de la fantasía épica. Brutal y poética, conmovedora y cruel, la magia de Martin, como la del mundo de Poniente, necesita apenas una pincelada para cautivar al lector, hacerlo reír y llorar, y conseguir que el asombro ceda paso a la más profunda admiración por la serie.

Séculos antes dos eventos de A guerra dos tronos, a Casa Targaryen – única família de senhores dos dragões a sobreviver à Destruição de Valíria – tomou residência em Pedra do Dragão. A história de Fogo e sangue começa com o lendário Aegon, o Conquistador, criador do Trono de Ferro, e segue narrando as gerações de Targaryen que lutaram para manter o assento, até a guerra civil que quase destruiu sua dinastia. O que realmente aconteceu durante a Dança dos Dragões? Por que era tão perigoso visitar Valíria depois da Destruição? Qual é a origem dos três ovos de dragão que chegaram a Daenerys? Essas são algumas das questões respondidas neste livro essencial, relatadas por um sábio meistre da Cidadela. Ricamente ilustrado com mais de oitenta imagens em preto e branco assinadas pelo artista Dough Wheatley, Fogo e sangue dará aos leitores uma nova e completa visão da fascinante história de Westeros – um livro imperdível para os fãs do autor.

Alguns anos depois, o cavaleiro morre e Dunk, já adulto, decide tomar seu lugar e fazer fama no torneio da Campina de Vaufreixo. É quando conhece Egg, um menino de dez anos, cabeça totalmente raspada, que é muito mais do que aparenta ser. Dunk aceita Egg como seu escudeiro e, juntos, viajam por Westeros em busca de trabalho e aventuras. Uma grande amizade nasce entre eles - uma amizade pela vida toda, mesmo quando, anos mais tarde, os dois personagens assumem papéis centrais na estrutura de poder dos Sete Reinos.
