A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel

by Daniel Abraham (Adaption)

One of the most beloved fantasies of all time continues, now adapted into a graphic novel worthy of its source. . . . Morning at King's Landing. Today Eddard is to send his daughters, Arya and Sansa, back to the safety of Winterfell. But it is not to be. For the death of King Robert will plunge all of Eddard's plans into turmoil . . . and set the stage for civil war as Prince Joffrey, offspring of Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime, is proclaimed the new king. Now Arya, armed only with her sword and the lessons of her "dancing" master Syrio Forel, must escape a castle of cutthroats sworn to take her alive . . . or dead. And Sansa, quickly captured by Cersei, finds herself torn between her love for Joffrey and her love for her father-now imprisoned as a traitor.

The heart lies and the head plays tricks, but the eyes see true.

“Is this meant to be your shield, my lord? A piece of paper?” [Rriiip] – Cersei to Ned

“The heart lies and the head plays tricks, but the eyes see true.
“Look with your eyes. Hear with your ears. Feel with your skin. THEN comes the thinking, afterwards.” - Syrio to Arya

{NEVER DO WHAT THEY EXPECT. Up would take her to the tower of the Hand, where they would expect her to go. So ...DOWN.}
{Her footsteps sent echoes hurrying ahead as she plunged into the darkness.} - Arya.

“We are in a dreadful position. You are innocent of any wrong, yet you are the daughter of a traitor. How can I allow you to marry my son?” - Cersei to Sansa before the council
“But I LOVE him!” - Sansa to Cersei
“How well I know it. Why else should you have come to me and told of your father's plan to leave?” - Cersei to Sansa, while small the council consisting of Pycelle, Petyr and Varys play their own games.

Sansa in her naïve self-obsession is oblivious to the 'game' she is part of and inadvertently sentences her whole family household to the Queen Regent's wrath.

Everything gets turned upside down in King's Landing. Lord Stark is captured infront of the throne and declared a traitor, due to the treachery of Littlefinger. Sansa Stark is still oblivious and follows the lead of Cersei and Joffrey without any regard for her family. Arya Stark is sent for while training with her Dancing Master, Syrio Forell, the first sword of Braavos. He manages to kill quite a few men with a training sword.
