Read the real life Game of Thrones, the basis George R.R. Martin says he used for the GoT series... A time full of amazing intrigue, battles, incredible characters, and lots of, er, death.

In the fifteenth century, two families of royal descent, the Houses of York and Lancaster, clashed in an epic series of civil wars to win and control the throne of England.

Fantasy & Science Fiction Grandmaster Robert Silverberg brings the personalities, politics, and events of this complex and exciting period to vivid and relevant life, with two dozen illustrations by noted SF author and artist Judith Ann Lawrence (Judy Blish).
