Description
It almost looks like you are referring to “A Game of Thrones”, which happens to be the first volume in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. Here is the abridged version of it:
“A Game of Thrones” is the saga of an exceptionally interesting epic, full of noble houses fighting over power and the control of the Iron Throne, which is the seat of the Seven Kingdoms. The story acquaints one with some principal families: from honorable Starks, through the wealth and ambition of Lannisters, to the exiled Targaryens who once ruled the realm.
The story is woven from multiple perspectives; every chapter is one character’s world. A great epic novel interweaves themes of power, betrayal, loyalty, and survival as the various families and their individuals engage in political intrigue, war, and alliances. Another supernatural element which rears its head in the novel is White Walkers beyond the Wall in the North, giving a sense of impending doom to the political struggles.
“A Game of Thrones” is the first book in the series known for complex characters, un-predicted plot twists and a world where traditional notions of heroism are often subverted.
