Martin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and Fire—A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons—as well as Tuf Voyaging, Fevre Dream, The Armageddon Rag, Dying of the Light, Windhaven (with Lisa Tuttle), and Dreamsongs Volumes I and II.

He lives with the lovely Parris in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever
written.”—The Denver Post

bedazzled by swords and spells wielded to devastating
effect.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“High fantasy with a vengeance.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune
“Rivals T. H. White’s The Once and Future King.”—The Des Moines
Register

certainly be hooked by the whole series.”—The Oregonian
“The richness of this invented world and its cultures lends Mr.
Martin’s novels the feeling of medieval history rather than
fiction—except, of course, that he knows how to entertain.”—The
Dallas Morning News
