Summary Of The Book After suffering the wrath of an epic battle and great loss, the Seven Kingdoms now hang by a delicate thread, a thread that is being pulled at either end by scheming emperors and castigating kingdoms. Will Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen in the east, finally find peace in a kingdom still seething with the woes of war? How far will Tyrion Lannister go on his quest to find Daenerys and what are his motives? Will his search be cut short by the vengeful Westeros? Embarked on a difficult journey to find Daenerys and coming to terms with events after killing his father, Tyrion is yet to learn the true motives of his allies. To the north, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, must face an insurmountable challenge, and his greatest yet. Will he perish just like the thousands before him? Will this be his final ordeal or does fate have something bigger for him in store? Fates are entwined and twisted, as the heroes and their enemies struggle to find victory in a land of vice, curses, and liars.
