Machiavelli meets Norse sagas—crowns are claimed, kingdoms burn, and chaos reigns.
The second book in A Song of Ice and Fire catapults Westeros into all-out war. Five kings rise to stake their claim: Stannis with his fiery priestess, Renly with his golden host, Balon Greyjoy from the sea, Robb Stark from the North, and boy-king Joffrey clinging to the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen dreams of fire and blood as her dragons grow. Magic, prophecy, and power converge in a story where loyalty is tested and destiny is as sharp as a sword’s edge.
Why you’ll love it: Relentless battles, shadowy assassins, and the chilling sense that the real war is yet to come. It’s the book where the pieces scatter across the board and every move matters.
📖 Condition: Like-new—crisp pages, cover gleaming, ready for a binge session.
💘 Perfect for: Fantasy readers who thrive on sprawling wars, fans of political strategy, and anyone addicted to the HBO Game of Thrones series who wants the richer, darker source material.
