Stannis Baratheon has taken his army, his wife and daughter, and the Red Woman—the Lady Melisandre—to the Wall, where John Snow has been elected the 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. Meanwhile in King’s Landing, King Tommen Baratheon, Joffrey’s eight-year-old brother, rules alongside his mother, Cersei Lannister. Jaime Lannister, united with Brienne of Tarth, is on a mission to quell dissent in the Riverlands, as Brienne attempts to fulfill her vow to Catelyn Stark by finding and protecting Sansa Stark. Sansa Stark is hiding at her aunt’s castle in the Vale, pretending to be the ward of Petyr Baelish, who has murdered his wife and Sansa’s aunt, Lysa Arryn, and named himself the Protector of the Vale and guardian of eight-year-old Lord Robert Arryn. At the Wall, Stannis regroups, encouraged by Jon Snow to make an alliance with the Wildings, whom Jon lets through the wall to save them from the White Walkers and to unite with the Night’s Watch to defend the Wall. The Wall is the only thing standing between Westeros and the mysterious Others, which includes wights—humans who rise from the dead as zombies—and the White Walkers. However, the unbending Stannis executes Mance Rayder, the so-called “king” of the wildings, for refusing allegiance to him. Jon’s alliance with the Wildings, his beheading of his defiant enemy, Janos Slynt, and his request for fighters to join him in killing Ramsay Bolton, who holds Winterfell, cost Jon dearly; he is stabbed and left for dead by his brothers. However, before he is stabbed, Jon sends Mance Rayder’s son to safety with Gilly, Maester Aegon, and Samwell Tarly, who is to train at the Citadel as a Maester. Stannis heads south to engage with the Bolton’s forces, determined to regain the North, followed by wrenching the West from the Ironborn. At the end of the novel, his forces are snowbound outside of Winterfell. Bran Stark’s visions lead him north of the wall, to encounter the last of the Children of the Forest and the Three-Eyed Crow—an ancient man intertwined with the roots of a weirwood tree. Bran joins with a weirwood tree himself and uses his “green sight” to envision his father, Ned Stark in the past, and to talk with Theon Greyjoy, in the present. Theon Greyjoy, begging for forgiveness in the Winterfell weirwood, hears Bran’s voice calling his name and regains his sanity. He has previously been tortured into imbecility by Ramsay Bolton, who named him “Reek.” He has also been forced to go along with Ramsay’s marriage to “Arya Stark,” who Reek recognizes as Sansa’s friend, Jayne Poole. Ramsay brutally beats and rapes his wife, and Theon tries to atone for his past sins by helping Jayne escape, only to be immediately captured by Stannis’ forces outside Winterfell. In Braavos, Arya Stark trains as an assassin in the House of White and Black to become one of the Faceless Men. She passes all of their tests, including fighting off the leader of the temple during a temporary blindness, and successfully murders her first assigned target, a corrupt local merchant. She is accepted as an apprentice to the Faceless Men. After killing his father, Tywin, Tyrion Lannister is smuggled out of King’s Landing by Varys. Tyrion considers joining forces with Daenerys Targaryen and heads toward the city of Meereen, held by Daenerys and her dragons. However, along the way, Varys reveals that he has secretly been part of a group who has hidden and raised Prince Rheagar’s son, Aegon, who was presumed to have been killed. Tyrion convinces Aegon that Daenerys, as Aegon’s future wife, will only accept him if he has proved himself through conquest. Aegon prepares to launches an attack on Westeros, with the help of the mercenary Golden Company army. Before he can plot any further, Tyrion is kidnapped by Jorah Mormont to be taken to Daenerys. In turn, Tyrion escapes from Mormont in the confusion of a plague overtaking the armies positioned outside Meereen, and makes an alliance with the Second Sons mercenary army to fight on Daenerys’ behalf. In Meereen, Daenerys faces rebellion at every turn, including from her dragons, whom she cannot control. She is forced to imprison them; however, Drogon, the biggest and strongest, escapes. The Sons of the Harpy, the defeated previous rulers of Meereen, murder her own soldiers at will. Forced to make an alliance to quell the rebellion, she marries Hizdar Zo Loraq—a local lordling. At Hizdar’s insistence, she reopens the fighting pits, but the blood and noise draw Drogon. Drogon kills 200 people before carrying Daenerys off on his back. Drogon leaves Daenerys stranded near the Dothraki Sea. Quentyn Martell, Prince of Dorn, sent to make an alliance of marriage with Daenerys, strives to prove himself worthy by riding one of Daenerys’ dragons, but he is killed in the attempt.

It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist—or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out. But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead. It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come together and stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at crows party, many are the guests—but only a few are the survivors.
