While HBO's blockbuster has omitted many intricacies of taking the black or serving in white, this audiobook will delve deep into the myths and legends, customs, and principles behind the two brotherhoods. For while they seem like nothing alike on the surface, the story woven by George RR Martin places special emphasis on the similarity between them - both have become rotten, crumbling from the inside out at the time when the Seven Kingdoms needs them most. But how did we get here?

Drawing on the wealth of fantasy literature to differentiate George R.R. Martin's beasts from those of other authors, this audiobook explores how the dragons came to be, what caused their disappearance in the first place, and what not so obvious repercussions will their revival bring to Westeros.

Game of Thrones fans watch in delight as the epic battle of Lannister and Stark entangles the Seven Kingdoms. But only the sharpest notice how these houses echo Lancaster and York in the War of the Roses. Druids, Catholics, and even Zoroastrians wander through Westeros, reframing their religions for a new world of fantasy. But how medieval is Westeros? Did lady knights and pirates really battle across Europe? The audiobook Winter is Coming: Symbols and Hidden Meanings in A Game of Thrones explores all this and more, from the echoes of history to the symbols and omens our beloved characters.

Game of Thrones, book and show alike, is spun from classic myth, from the tales of Robin Hood and King Arthur to the Norse Ring Cycle and saga of Ragnarok. Above all these human adventures soar Daenerys' dragons adapted from the dragons, wyverns, and wyrms of Western bestiaries. But what about the merlings, seal folk, wargs, greenseers, grumpkins, and snarks: Which mythologies created them?

This thought-provoking anthology offers a close examination of the psychology behind the intricate narrative and compelling characters in author George R.R. Martin's best-selling work, A Song of Ice and Fire, and the popular HBO TV series based upon his books, Game of Thrones. In Martin's richly detailed world, deceit, manipulation, and greed rule the day, and almost everyone fights for power over the realm or simply over their own lives. How do love and hate, good and evil, need and greed, altruism and narcissism drive the very best and very worst human behaviors?

There may be no happy endings, but there is plenty to discover and obsess over in this behind-the-scenes fan guide to the Game of Thrones HBO series. Did the show affect George R.R. Martin’s ability to finish the book series? Why were the Stark direwolves all but cut from the show? Spanning every episode across all eight seasons, The Unofficial Guide to Game of Thrones explains scenes that don’t follow Martin’s books, and sheds new light on the themes, storylines, character development, the meaning of the finale, and what fans can expect next.

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen - the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria - took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.

Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there were Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve, but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true name (hidden from all he and Dunk encounter) is Aegon Targaryen.

Publisher's Summary
Full of daring theories and fascinating tales from the World of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones: The Masterminds of Westeros delves deep into the behind-the-scenes politics of Westeros through the eyes of the kingdoms' most skillful strategists - Lord Varys and Petyr Baelish.

A perfect gift for fans of the TV show as well as the book series, Game of Thrones: The Masterminds of Westeros serves as both an introduction and accompaniment to the existing media. If you want to find out how the World of Ice and Fire came to be or what might happen next, this is the place to start!

Absolutely horrible narration
The story is fine. Similar to many popular fan theories, as well as some new ones, if far fetched.
The problem is the narration. If you can’t pronounce the names in the most popular show in history, perhaps you should watch a few episodes.
Of course that might be a bit much to ask from someone that can’t tell the difference between mummers and murmurs, thorns and thrones, etc…

This is Known
I love to hear about the masterminds of Westeros, but this book was only just offered to me in 2020. I have known this information for several years now... The narrator was good but not great as the pronunciation of names is now well known but he still mangled several names. I wish it would have been longer and had given us new information only GRRM knows. If you are new to A Song of Ice and Fire and the theories are yet unknown to you, then this is a great read after reading the series for the 1st time.
