Canción de hielo y fuego IV
"Cuando se apaga el clamor de las espadas, solamente queda carroña
para los cuervos".
Tras siglos de guerras descarnadas, los siete poderes que dividen la
tierra se han diezmado unos a otros hasta alcanzar una difícil tregua.
Muy pocos reclamos legítimos existen ya por el Trono de Hierro, y la
guerra que ha convertido al mundo en poco más que un desierto al fin ha
terminado. O eso parece. Pero no pasa mucho tiempo antes de que los
sobrevivientes, los proscritos, los renegados y los carroñeros de los
Siete Reinos se reúnan.
Ahora, como cuervos humanos que acechan un banquete de cenizas, nuevas
intrigas y peligrosas alianzas se forman, a la vez que rostros
sorprendentes --algunos familiares, otros desconocidos-- emergen de un
siniestro crepúsculo de caos y luchas pasadas para sumir los desafíos de
los terribles tiempos que se avecinan. Nobles y plebeyos, soldados y
hechiceros, asesinos y sabios se unen para hacer valer su vida y sus
fortunas. Porque en un festín de cuervos, muchos son los invitados...
pero sólo unos pocos logran sobrevivir.
**"**Festín de cuervos **es una aventura magistralmente escrita, de
ritmo vertiginoso y emocionalmente compleja". --**Newsday.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
THE BOOK BEHIND THE FOURTH SEASON OF THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF
THRONES
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE SERIES: BOOK 4
Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and
praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin's
monumental epic cycle of high fantasy. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin
delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a
kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . .
only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction.
A FEAST FOR CROWS
It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal
treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another
into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the
monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King's Landing.
Robb Stark's demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his
siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil.
Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still
exist--or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them
effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned
itself out.
But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before
the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather,
picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the
soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble
over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances
are formed, while surprising faces--some familiar, others only just
appearing--are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles
and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.
It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the
strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the
stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles
and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come
together and stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast
for crows, many are the guests--but only a few are the survivors.
