The master of modern fantasy, the architect of Westeros - George R.R. Martin has redefined the genre. With A Song of Ice and Fire, Martin created one of the most ambitious and immersive fantasy worlds ever written. Spanning millions of words and still evolving, this epic series is a triumph of interwoven narratives, political intrigue, and unforgettable characters.
