This new edition will be very special, I think. George R R Martin said in a blog post: "An anniversary like this requires something special, something more than just a reprint and a new novel.
With gorgeous full-page illustrations to open every chapter, the mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure of this magnificent saga come to life as never before." A spokesperson for Bantam Spectra, which will publish the title in the US, said: "In celebration of the fantasy masterpiece that started a cultural phenomenon, we’re excited to announce the publication of a special illustrated edition. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.An illustrated edition of A Game of Thrones, the first book in George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, will be published to mark the 20th anniversary of the book.Ī Game of Thrones was first published in the UK on August 1996. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall.
In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. Martin’s stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great achievements of imaginative fiction. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer.
Martin’s magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords.
