The World of Ice & Fire Audiobook: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones

The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones is a comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, providing vividly constructed accounts of the epic battles, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that led to the events of A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO’s Game of Thrones. In a collaboration that’s been years in the making, Martin has teamed with Elio M. García, Jr., and Linda Antonsson, the founders of the renowned fan site Westeros.org – perhaps the only people who know this world almost as well as its visionary creator.

If the past is prologue, then George R. R. Martin’s masterwork – the most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time – warrants one hell of an introduction. At long last, it has arrived with The World of Ice & Fire.

This audiobook is more for backstory to explain how and why the world we are thrust into came to be, and does a wonderful job at explaining where the different ethnicities developed, the conflicts of ages past, as well as the ancient tales of empires come and gone by, as well as pondering on the races that may have come before. Collected here is all the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and septons, maegi and singers, including:

• Full family trees for Houses Stark, Lannister, and Targaryen
• In-depth explorations of the history and culture of Westeros
• 100% all-new material, more than half of which Martin wrote specifically for this book
