Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros.
Political and sexual intrigue is pervasive. The dominant families are
the Houses Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon. Robert Baratheon, King of
Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard, Lord Stark, to serve as Hand of
the King, or highest official. Secretly warned that the previous Hand
was assassinated, Eddard accepts in order to investigate further.
Meanwhile the Queen's family,
the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot
to take power. Across the sea, the last members of the previous and
deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also scheming to regain the
throne. The friction between these clans, and with the remaining great
Houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn, and Tyrell, leads to full-scale war. All
while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest North. Amidst the war
and political confusion, a neglected military order of misfits, the
Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy
horrors beyond.
