Editor's Notes

This volume is so stunning it could have been taken directly from the Citadel library itself. We have been incredibly fortunate to work with the finest British craftspeople on this special 30th anniversary version: from the leather makers who created our incredible dragonskin leather, to the James Cropper paper mill who made our bespoke endpapers, to Ludlow Bookbinders who are binding each volume with care. With a limitation page blocked in real gold, a rolled map and a stunning box — and each copy personally signed by George R. R. Martin himself — this is truly a limited edition worthy of the Iron Throne that absolutely every fan of the series needs in their library.

Synopsis

Winter is coming. In the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Lord Eddard Stark is summoned south to serve as the king’s most trusted adviser. But behind the splendour of the Iron Throne lies a world of shifting loyalties, dangerous secrets and deadly ambition. As rival families vie for power and an exiled heir prepares to reclaim her birthright, a far older threat is gathering beyond the Wall. Epic in scope and impossible to put down, A Game of Thrones is the novel that launched George R. R. Martin’s landmark fantasy saga A Song of Ice and Fire.

George R. R. Martin is a celebrated author of fantasy, horror and science-fiction stories and novels. He began publishing short stories in science fiction and fantasy magazines in the early 1970s, and his first novel, Dying of the Light, was published in 1977. Martin went on to work as a television scriptwriter in the 1980s, before – discouraged by the limitations of the medium – he returned to writing fiction, beginning work on the epic fantasy series for which he is best known, ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, inspired by medieval England’s Wars of the Roses. The first instalment, A Game of Thrones, was published in 1996; the fourth volume (A Feast for Crows, 2005; Folio 2021) and fifth volume (A Dance with Dragons, 2011; Folio 2022) earned Martin bestseller status. The winner of multiple Nebula and Hugo Awards, as well as the 2012 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, Martin has also received three Emmy Awards for his work as a producer on the HBO adaptation of his ‘ A Song of Ice and Fire’ novels, Game of Thrones.

Joe Abercrombie is a best-selling fantasy writer. Born in Lancaster in 1974, he studied Psychology at Manchester University before working in television production and then as a freelance film editor. During his time editing Abercrombie learnt about character development and storytelling, something that influenced him as he started writing fantasy fiction in 2002. His first novel, The Blade Itself, was published in 2006. He has since written eight more novels including Best Served Cold (2009) and Red Country (2012), as well as a collection of short stories entitled Sharp Ends (2016). Abercrombie’s fiction has been received with wide critical acclaim and popular success; his works have been sold in over twenty countries. Abercrombie contributed to the BBC Worlds of Fantasy series in 2008, alongside literary legends Terry Pratchett and Michael Moorcock. In 2015, Abercrombie won a Locus Award for Best Young Adult Novel, for his book Half a King(2014). Citing A Game of Thrones (1996) as one of his most significant literary influences, Abercrombie’s newly commissioned introduction for The Folio Society was approved by George R. R. Martin himself.
