A GAME OF THRONES
Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. 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

　　《冰與火之歌卷1：權力的遊戲》是當代奇幻文學一部影響深遠的里程碑式的作品。它於1996年剛一問世，便以別具一格的結構，浩瀚遼闊的視野，錯落有致的情節和生動活潑的語言，迅速征服了歐美文壇。迄今，《冰與火之歌卷1：權力的遊戲》已被譯為數十種文字，並在各個國家迭獲大獎。
　　《冰與火之歌卷1：權力的遊戲》主要描述了在一片虛構的中世紀大陸上所發生的一系列相互聯繫的宮廷鬥爭、疆場廝殺、遊歷冒險和魔法抗衡的故事，全書七卷（包括未出的各卷）渾然一體，共同組成了一幅壯麗而完整的畫卷。書名「冰與火」，為的是突出人性掙扎的含義，書中塑造了無數的人物，但其著眼點，卻並非孤立地凸現英雄主義，奉獻精神或奸猾陰謀，而是將書中人物放在一個「真人」的角度，寫出他或她在時代和社會的漩渦中不同的境遇與選擇。從寫作上說，《冰與火之歌卷1：權力的遊戲》與莎翁的《哈姆雷特》頗有共通之處。從中，讀者便能與之產生呼應，共同經歷這冰與火的洗禮。
