The first novel in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice And Fire series is also the one that lent its name to the TV adaptation. In A Game of Thrones, readers are first introduced to the fantasy world of Westeros and the power players who inhabit it: the noble Starks, the power-hungry Lannisters, the ruling Baratheons, and the exiled Targaryens. When the Baratheon king dies, the country is thrown into chaos, and with multiple claimants to the throne, things will never be the same.
