La tanto enfatizzata "vittoria" del leone di Lannister, che si è compiuta nell'"Ombra della Profezia", lascia dietro di sé un'interminabile scia di sangue.

Non c'e fine alla guerra dei cinque re: alimentato dall'infinita sete di potere di troppi condottieri e pretendenti, un insensato bagno di sangue continua a sconvolgere il cuore dei Sette Regni. Nel remoto nord, alla Barriera ormai travolta dalla furia dell'inverno, il giovane Jon Snow e costretto a compiere una scelta tanto temeraria quanto estrema. Una scelta che suscitera le ire dei suoi stessi confratelli e che potrebbe costargli molto piu del rango di lord comandante dei Guardiani della notte. Ad Approdo del Re, nonostante il suo potere sia ormai disgregato, l'arrogante regina Cersei Lannister riconquista la liberta dalle segrete di una fanatica setta religiosa al prezzo di una pena infamante e ripugnante. Nel mare stretto, Victarion Greyjoy, brutale e sanguinario ammiraglio della Flotta di Ferro, sta facendo rotta verso la Baia degli Schiavisti per conquistare la mano di Daenerys Targaryen, Madre dei Draghi. Ma Victarion non e il solo a desiderare di occupare il trono di spade al fianco di Daenerys. Nella citta di Meereen, tuttora sotto assedio, mentre il valoroso Barristan Selmy deve ordire un complotto contro l'ambiguo re Hizdahr, un principe dorniano ossessionato dalla furia dei draghi si lancia in un'impresa destinata a rivelarsi suicida. E tra le linee dell'assedio yunkai, Tyrion Lannister, l'immarcescibile Folletto, studia una strategia per creare una nuova, inaspettata forza d'invasione con la quale riconquistare i Sette Regni.

Una de las obras fundacionales del aclamado autor de Juego de Tronos. Publicado en 1986, Los viajes de Tuf es uno de los títulos más destacados de la primera etapa del autor y nos descubre el lado mas sci-fi de George R. R. Martin. Haviland Tuf es un ser curioso: un mercader independiente de gran corpulencia, calvo y con la piel blanca como el hueso. Es vegetariano, bebe montones de cerveza, come demasiado y le encantan los gatos. Ademas, es honesto. Tuf logra poseer una enorme nave espacial, el Arca, la unica superviviente del antiguo Cuerpo de Ingenieria de la Vieja Tierra. El Arca es un artilugio desaparecido hace mas de mil años, pero que revive gracias a Tuf y sus gatos. A lo largo de los siete relatos que conforman este libro, Tuf consigue la nave, la repara y resuelve un sinfin de problemas espaciales con la ayuda de la ingenieria ecologica, una profesion que el recupera y a la que añade la impronta de su personalidad, astucia e ironia.
