Synopsis
On the Westeros mainland , King Robert Baratheon has ruled the Kingdom of the Seven Crowns for more than seventeen years, following his rebellion against “mad king” Aerys II Targaryen . Jon Arryn , husband of Lady Catelyn Stark’s sister, Lady Arryn, his guide and senior advisor, has just died, and the king then leaves for the north of the kingdom to ask his old friend Eddard “Ned” Stark to replace their late mentor at the post of King’s Hand. Ned, Lord Nester of the North from Winterfell and Stark House, is unwilling to leave his land. But he reluctantly agrees to leave for the capital Port-Réal with his two daughters, Sansa and Arya . Just before leaving for the south, Bran , one of Eddard’s young sons, is pushed from one of Winterfell’s towers after witnessing the incestuous bond between Queen Cersei Baratheon and her twin brother, Jaime Lannister. . Their brother, Tyrion Lannister , nicknamed “the gnome”, is then charged with the crime by Lady Catelyn Stark .
North West of Westeros, Ned Stark’s young bastard, Jon Snow , is preparing to join the famous Night Watch . For more than 8000 years, this brotherhood has been protecting and defending the Westeros kingdom from what lives on the other side of the Wall , a gigantic building made of ice, stone and magic, forming the northern border between the icy lands of north and the Seven Crowns. If the Sauvageons are in fact not the real direct threat, the return of a race of ancient mythical and legendary creatures called the White Walkers is much more disturbing.
On the continent of Essos , south-east beyond the Strait, the “legitimate” heir in exile of the Seven Crowns, Viserys Targaryen , is preparing to reconquer the kingdom. Ready for anything, he marries his younger sister, Princess Daenerys Targaryen , to Khal Drogo , warlord of the Dothrakis, to gain the support of the powerful horde of nomadic horsemen he leads. But the whimsical Viserys will inherit the fate of his parents, leaving Daenerys the plan to regain his place on the Iron Throne, helped by his three dragons.
