Ve světě, kde léto může trvat desítky let a zima celý život, vzrůstá nepokoj. Železný trůn Západozemí přitahuje bezpočet mocných, leč jeho jako břitva ostré hrany mohou být i smrtelnou pastí. A na severu, tam za ochrannou Zdí, se mezitím houfují nadpřirozené síly temnoty. Úvodní část románového fantasy eposu ze světa temného středověku, zmítaného magií, intrikami, zradou i věštbami. Územím Sedmi království zrozených v zapomenutých časech otřásá krvavý boj. V centru konfliktu stojí Starkové ze Zimohradu, rod stejně tvrdý a houževnatý jako země, z níž vzešli. Strážce severu lord Stark je povolán do role královského pobočníka, svým odchodem k Železnému trůnu však spouští řetězec událostí, které záhy zasáhnou pletichářský jih, divoké východní krajiny i ledový sever ohraničený starobylou Zdí.
