Game of Thrones (TV series)

The cable television series closely follows the multiple storylines of the A Song of Ice and Fire series,[9] and author Martin has stated that the show's pilot script was very faithful to his work.[10] Set in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, where "summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime," Game of Thrones chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the kingdom's noble families for control of the Iron Throne; as the series opens, additional threats from the snow and ice covered region north of Westeros and from the eastern continent across a narrow sea are simultaneously beginning to rise.
