Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.
It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lust and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men…all will play the ‘Game of Thrones.’
As season four of Game of Thrones approaches, HBO has been hard at work getting us ready for all the death, fighting (lots and lots of fighting), magic to come and new faces to come. Season three left off with many of our favorites dying brutal deaths at the hands of their enemies (whether known to them or not) as autumn fell across Westeros. Renly Baratheon was assassinated, alliances were altered and the evil, bastard king that we all want to see beheaded and spiked in front of his own palace has managed a successful alliance with House Tyrell. Stannis was defeated and with his army scattered or decimated by wildfire, he has returned to Dragonstone, but he’s not done battling for the Iron Throne as he works with Melisandre to take back his rightful title.
