A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire Book 1)

Long ago in a time forgotten a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime trouble is brewing. The cold is returning and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. To the south the king’s powers are failing—his most trusted adviser dead under mysterious circumstances and his enemies emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the king’s new Hand an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but the kingdom itself.

Sweeping from a harsh land of cold to a summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty A Game of Thrones tells a tale of lords and ladies soldiers and sorcerers assassins and bastards who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; a child is lost in the twilight between life and death; and a determined woman undertakes a treacherous journey to protect all she holds dear. Amid plots and counter-plots tragedy and betrayal victory and terror allies and enemies the fate of the Starks hangs perilously in the balance as each side endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

Grimm's Fairy Stories

From "Dummling and the Three Feathers": Once upon a time there lived a King who had three sons; the two elder were learned and bright but the youngest said very little and appeared somewhat foolish so he was always known as Dummling. When the King grew old and feeble feeling that he was nearing his end he wished to leave the crown to one of his three sons but could not decide to which. He thereupon settled that they should travel and that the one who could obtain the most splendid carpet should ascend the throne when he died. So that there could be no disagreement as to the way each one should go the King conducted them to the courtyard of the Palace and there blew three feathers by turn into the air telling his sons to follow the course that the three feathers took. Then one of the feathers flew eastwards another westwards but the third went straight up towards the sky though it only sped a short distance before falling to earth.[]

Our ways are not your ways and there shall be to you many strange things.' Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle telling his fiance Mina of the Count's supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts. Meanwhile in England Mina's friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing a previous suitor of Lucy's Seward and Lucy's fiance Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina's life. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century Bram Stoker's Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.[]
