“One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.
Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.
Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.
“Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times
《冰与火之歌》（A Song of Ice and Fire）是由美国著名科幻奇幻小说家乔治·R·R·马丁（George R.R. Martin）所著的史诗奇幻小说，是当代奇幻文学一部影响深远的里程碑式的作品。于1996年初问世时，便以别具一格的结构、浩瀚辽阔的视野、错落有致的情节和生动活泼的语言，迅速征服了欧美文坛。迄今，本作已被译为三十多种文字，并在各个国家迭获大奖。作品主要描述了在一片虚构的中世纪大陆上所发生的一系列相互联系的宫廷斗争、疆场厮杀、游历冒险和魔法抗衡的故事，全书七卷（已出版到第五卷）浑然一体，共同组成了一幅壮丽而完整的画卷。
从1995年至今，《权力的游戏》、《列王的纷争》、《冰雨的风暴》、《群鸦的盛宴》和《魔龙的狂舞》陆续出版，引发了全球性的追捧热潮。
2008年底，该系列图书销量接近一，在全球以三十多种语言翻译出版。由于HBO同名电视剧的推动，该系列图书仅今年二季度，在美国一地就卖出了400万册之多，长时间霸占了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜前十位的多个位置。
作者简介:
George R. R. Martin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and Fire—A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons—as well as Tuf Voyaging, Fevre Dream, The Armageddon Rag, Dying of the Light, Windhaven (with Lisa Tuttle), and Dreamsongs Volumes I and II. He is also the creator of The Lands of Ice and Fire, a collection of maps from A Song of Ice and Fire featuring original artwork from illustrator and cartographer Jonathan Roberts, and The World of Ice & Fire (with Elio M. García, Jr., and Linda Antonsson). He lives with the lovely Parris in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
1948年出生于美国新泽西州的贝约恩。
60年代末期，也即20岁左右的大学时代，开始从事当时热火朝天的科幻故事创作。
70年代早期，取得硕士学位以后，他被著名编辑加德纳·多佐伊斯（Gardner Dozois）所发掘，马丁陆续在重要的科幻杂志上，如《类比》杂志，发表了许多短篇作品，并很快以感伤怀旧的浪漫笔触，略带歌特气息的荒凉氛围，以及糅合恐怖小说元素的科幻作品，受到读者瞩目。
其后至今（2006年中旬），凡35年左右，总共只出版有七本中短篇小说选集（《莱安娜之歌和其他故事》A Song for Lya and Other Stories，《星与影之歌》Songs of Stars and Shadows，《沙王》Sandkings，《死者唱的歌》Songs the Dead Men Sing，《夜行者》Nightflyers，《子女的画像》Portraits of His Children和《四分集》Quartet: Four stories from the Crossroads。这七本的部分内容有重复。）；十本长篇小说（《光逝》Dying of the Light、《风港》Windhaven、《热夜之梦》Fevre Dream、《末日狂歌》The Armageddon Rag、《图夫航行》Tuf Voyaging、《死者之手》Dead Man's Hand以及史诗奇幻冰与火之歌的前四卷《权力的游戏》、《列王的纷争》、《冰雨的风暴》和《群鸦的盛宴》。注意，前面6本中还有2本是马丁与人合写的。）：其他一些未收录入选集的中短篇小说（例如著名的《誓言剑士》The sworn sword，世界奇幻奖得主《狼皮交易》The Skin Trade等）；在好莱坞工作期间创作了约二十部电影、电视剧本（其中许多并未上映））；编辑打造了约二十部小说集，包括著名的《百变王牌》系列（Wild Cards series），《约翰·坎贝尔获奖作品集》（The John W Campbell Awards Volume 5 Volume 6）等等。
而在此后的十年中，马丁转向影剧界发展，担任了多部电视剧集的编剧工作。
直到上世纪90年代，马丁受到《冰与火之歌》故事的感召，退出影剧界，转而投入这部著作的创作中。
马丁二十七岁以小说《莱安娜之歌》摘下象征幻想小说最高成就的雨果奖。此后他不仅在文学上获奖连连，更曾在好莱坞担任编剧长达十年之久。
至今，他已获四次雨果奖，两次星云奖，一次世界奇幻文学奖，十一次轨迹奖。
2011年，美国《时代周刊》将马丁评为"全世界最有影响力的一百位人物"之一，肯定了乔治·马丁在幻想文坛上的至尊地位。
