Forced to journey south and enter the unfamiliar territory of the capital, King's Landing, the family must suddenly contend with deadly court politics, intrigue, plots, feuds and mysteries from a host of rival factions.

The plot begins by focusing on the Stark family, a noble house that rules the frigid and sparsely populated North. Set in a medieval fantasy world, the series primarily follows various political and supernatural threats to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, a vast nation still recovering from a civil war that ousted the previous ruling dynasty of three centuries, the Targaryens. The series premiered in 1996, and there have been five books released in the series so far, with the most recent published in 2011. A Song of Ice and Fire is a bestselling Doorstopper epic fantasy series written by George R.
