When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" is brought to the screen as HBO sinks its considerable storytelling teeth into the medieval fantasy epic. It's the depiction of two powerful families -- kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and honest men -- playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and to sit atop the Iron Throne.
Martin is credited as a co-executive producer and one of the writers for the series, whose shooting locations include Northern Ireland, Malta, Croatia and Spain. Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has several plot lines and a large ensemble cast but centres on three primary story arcs. The first story arc centres on the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the dynastic noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from the throne.
The second story arc focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, exiled and plotting a return to the throne. The third story arc centers on the longstanding brotherhood charged with defending the realm against the ancient threats of the fierce peoples and legendary creatures that lie far north, and an impending winter that threatens the realm.
So pick your battles! Are you a House Targaryen of King's Landing, a Stark of Winterfell, a Lannister of Casterly Rock, an Arryn of the Eyrie, a Tully of Riverrun, a Greyjoy of Pyke, a Baratheon of Storm's End, a Tyrell of Highgarden, or a Martell of Sunspear? Or have you been relegated to the Night's Watch, to take no wife and own no lands, and spend your days tend the Wall without thanks or respite. Beserk carries an attractive range of Game of Thrones pop culture collectables, home wares, kitchen and barware, clothing, accessories, and games!
