Fight or Die




I'm REALLY looking forward to the new series Game of Thrones on HBO starting April 17th.
The series, based on author George RR Martin's best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels,
chronicles Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and
sexual intrigue abound.

The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon,
King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard,
suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate
further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne.

The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot to take control. Across the sea,
the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also
plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the
Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north,
an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits,
The Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond.

A mix of Drama, Fantasy and Intrigue. Count me... All in!
