故事揭幕於夏末暖陽將逝的年代,遠在南方的國王勞勃勞師北行,親訪臨冬城主艾德‧史塔克公爵。他們是自小一起長大的摯友,十五年前曾並肩推翻暴政。戰後勞勃成為一國之君,艾德則回到終年冰雪的北國遙荒,守著妻子兒女,以及世代相傳的家族古堡。

如今,國王請他南下擔任一人之下,萬人之上的御前首相。一個看似單純的請求,背後實則暗潮洶湧。前任首相待勞勃和艾德親如生父,他的神秘猝死,為整件事情蒙上一層疑雲,也逼使艾德不得不放棄平靜的北國生活,投入宮廷鬥爭的漩渦之中。

在隔海對岸的東方大陸,前朝流亡公主丹妮莉絲被哥哥當作招兵買馬籌碼賣婚給草原游牧部落酋長卓戈,芳齡十三就得肩負起國族興亡重擔;艾德的私生子瓊恩志願前往戍守北疆的絕境長城加入守夜人部隊,誓死守護王國免於牆外異鬼侵襲;艾德長女珊莎被國王許給王子喬佛里,王子殘酷頑劣成性,她卻痴迷於他的英挺容貌。而出身王國第一望族蘭尼斯特家的皇后瑟曦,與勞勃似乎貌合神離。

夏日將盡,凜冬將至,象徵艾德家族的冰原奔狼,代表勞勃家族的寶冠雄鹿,與蘭尼斯特家的怒吼猛獅,即將齊聚一堂,誰才會是最後贏家?

George Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten.

Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.

In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.

As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.

In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.

Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.

Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.

我必須讚揚灰鷹的翻譯,使得《冰與火之歌首部曲》在中文世界亮相時,有著相得益彰的文字面貌。

從以前就久聞本作大名,什麼人物繁雜領便當不用錢的,實際翻閱,其實也沒那麼誇張,大致就一部小演義,主線分海外海內,海外龍女公主賣身中興,海內霜狼城主鬥爭宮廷,海內再細分出多條支線主角從不同角度描繪大陸局勢,最後春秋爭霸一發不可收拾,堪稱精彩!要說宮廷政治都不死人,那才叫不真實,主要角色便當領這麼少我還感到有些失望呢。
