World Bestseller! The first official story of the most popular series in history! Hardly anyone needs to explain what Game of Thrones is and who its main characters are. Young Daenerys, wanting to return home and take her rightful place on the throne; brave Jon Snow looking for his place in the world; the wily Tyrion Lannister, unwilling to put up with his lot; and the children of Ned Stark, who had to grow up too early - they were all brought together by Fate in fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. Each of the heroes went a long way - they lost loved ones, experienced betrayals of friends and associates, made mistakes and even died. Possessing incredible willpower and a desire to restore justice, one way or another the heroes overcame all the trials of Fate. But you yourself know this? But you most likely do not know how difficult the path of the series to the screen was. Disillusioned with cinema, Martin created Game of Thrones as a work that would be impossible to film. However, after a few years, HBO took a chance, and now the whole world knows how this story ended in eight seasons.
