This is the first volume in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" trilogy which tells of the treachery, greed and war threatening the Seven Kingdoms south of the Wall. In a world scarred by battle and catastrophe, it describes the deeds of a people locked in conflict and the legacy they will leave their children.

i couldn't find a trailer, unfortunately, but someone has made a slide show of the cast. Pretty exciting stuff!
