Synopsis

HBO’s hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin’s internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A FEAST FOR CROWS is the fourth volume in the series.

‘On the morning after battle, the crows had feasted on victors and vanquished alike. How much can a crown be worth, when a crow can dine upon a king?’

A Lannister sits upon the Iron Throne. But the days of betrayal and bloodshed are far from over.

Among the ashes of war, new conflicts spark to life. Daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed which threaten to engulf Westeros. But in this game of thrones, victory will go to those with the sharpest steel and the coldest hearts.

About this title

Review:

‘Fantasy fiction’s equivalent to THE WIRE’ Telegraph

‘Mr Martin is a literary dervish, bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers’ New York Times

‘When times are tough, there is no better distraction than these magical tales’ Guardian

‘Martin has not only raised the bar for writers of epic fantasy but pushed and stretched the boundaries of the novel itself’ The Times

‘Complex storylines, fascinating characters, great dialogue, perfect pacing, and the willingness to kill off even his major characters’ LA Times

From the Back Cover:

'Crows will fight over a dead man's flesh, and kill each other for his eyes.'

Bloodthirsty, treacherous and cunning, the Lannisters are in power on the Iron Throne in the name of the boy-king Tommen. But fear and deceit are in the air: their enemies are poised to strike.

The Martells of Dorne seek vengeance for their dead, and the heir of King Balon of the Iron Isles, Euron Crow's Eye, is as black a pirate as ever raised a sail.

Across the war-torn landscape of the Seven Kingdoms, Brienne the Beauty (thus named in mockery of her great size and strength) seeks for Sansa Stark, having vowed to protect Sansa from the wrath of Queen Cersei, Tommen's power-hungry mother.

Meanwhile apprentice Maester Samwell Tarly brings a mysterious babe in arms south to the Citadel from the cruel frozen north where the sinister Others threaten the Wall...

A Feast for Crows brings to life dark magic, complex political intrigue and horrific bloodshed. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel ... and the coldest hearts.
