Canción de hielo y fuego III
"La espada llameante dejó a su paso largas estelas de fuego... El acero
cantó contra el acero".
Arrasados por la guerra, los Siete Reinos pronto sufrirán un larguísimo
invierno que se predice excepcionalmente crudo. Mientras la violencia y
el clima empeoran, los personajes entrañables e infames que ya conocemos
continúan debatiéndose entre feroces batallas y perversas intrigas
palaciegas: Joffrey, el cruel rey adolescente, sigue haciendo de las
suyas ante el azoro de los propios miembros de su clan, los Lannister;
Robb Stark, rey de Invernalia, ha ganado todos sus batallas, pero está
perdiendo la guerra; Daenerys, la princesa de los tres dragones, está al
frente de un ejército de mercenarios decidida a cumplir su destino:
recuperar el reino del que fue despojada. Pero otra fuerza con la que
nadie contaba, los Otros, surge desde más allá del Muro de Hielo: un
ejército sobrenatural cuyos cuerpos inertes quizá no puedan ser
detenidos. Mientras el futuro de este mundo cuelga en la balanza, nadie
descansará hasta que los Siete Reinos hayan estallado en una auténtica
tormenta de espadas.

A STORM OF SWORDS
Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and
still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and
broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy
ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord
Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous
sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House
Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots
against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister
hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile,
making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen,
Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. .
. .
But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army
of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization.
In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others--a supernatural army of
the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of
the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms
have exploded in a veritable storm of swords.
