George R. R. Martin

Siglos antes de que tuvieran lugar los acontecimientos que se relatan en "Canción de hielo y fuego", la casa Targaryen, la única dinastía de señores dragón que sobrevivió a la Maldición de Valyria, se asentó en la isla de Rocadragón. Aquí tenemos el primero de los dos volúmenes en el que el autor de Juego de tronos nos cuenta, con todo lujo de detalles, la historia de tan fascinante familia: empezando por Aegon I Targaryen, creador del icónico Trono de Hierro, y seguido por el resto de las generaciones de Targaryens que lucharon con fiereza por conservar el poder, y el trono, hasta la llegada de la guerra civil que casi acaba con ellos.

Opiniones editoriales : Opinión: Praise for George R. R. Martin and A Song of Ice and Fire   “The only fantasy series I’d put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings . . . It’s a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don’t read fantasy.” — Chicago Tribune   “Martin amply fulfills the first volume’s promise and continues what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written.” — The Denver Post, on A Clash of Kings   “Martin has produced — is producing, since the series isn’t over — the great fantasy epic of our era. It’s an epic for a more profane, more jaded, more ambivalent age than the one Tolkien lived in.” — Lev Grossman, Time   “Addictive . . . George R. R. Martin has created the unlikely genre of the realpolitik fantasy novel.” — Rolling Stone, on A Feast for Crows   “Epic fantasy as it should be written: passionate, compelling, convincingly detailed and thoroughly imagined.” — The Washington Post, on A Dance with Dragons   “I always expect the best from George R. R. Martin, and he always delivers.” — Robert Jordan Sobre el autor: George R. R.
