As Warden of the North, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must … and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.
The old gods have no power in the south, Stark's family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.

Easy, but long read. The flow of the story was exciting and I am 100% hooked. The problem is going to be when I finish the the last book. It's not the last book in the series because the author is still writing them. But I'm plowing through them like there's no tomorrow.
