The World of Ice & Fire

The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones

This illustrated companion to A Song of Ice and Fire surveys the history and geography of Westeros and the lands beyond the Narrow Sea. Presented as an account compiled by a maester, it traces ancient peoples, the rise of the Seven Kingdoms, the Targaryen dynasty and Robert's Rebellion. It also describes regional cultures, ruling families and distant societies. The volume provides background to the novels rather than continuing their main narrative.
