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.
