A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin is the first book in the epic fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire." The story is set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, a land where summers and winters can last for years. The plot follows multiple intertwined storylines:

In Westeros, noble families vie for control of the Iron Throne after the death of King Robert Baratheon. Eddard Stark, the honorable lord of Winterfell, is asked by Robert to become the Hand of the King. Stark uncovers dangerous secrets about the royal family, including the true parentage of the king's heirs. Political intrigue, betrayal, and war erupt as Stark and his family navigate deadly power struggles.

In the North, Jon Snow, the illegitimate son of Eddard Stark, joins the Night's Watch to guard the Wall, a massive ice structure protecting the realm from mysterious threats beyond.

Across the Narrow Sea in the land of Essos, the exiled Targaryen siblings, Viserys and Daenerys, plot to reclaim their lost throne. Daenerys marries Khal Drogo, leader of the nomadic Dothraki tribe, and becomes a mother to three dragons—the first seen in centuries—marking the rise of a powerful force to challenge the existing rulers.
