Tower of the Hand

Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

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. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.

As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords.

The threats of winter and war linger over everyone--nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages--and they are all forced together to stake their fortunes... or their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests, but few are the survivors.

A hedge knight by the name of Ser Duncan the Tall travels the Seven Kingdoms with his mysterious, young squire, Egg.
