'All men must die': or 'Valar Morghulis' as the traditional Essos greeting is rendered in High Valyrian. And die they do - in prodigious numbers in imaginatively varied and gruesome ways and often in terror within the viciously unpredictable world that is HBO's sensational evocation of Game of Thrones. Epic in scope and in imaginative breadth the stories that are brought to life tell of the dramatic rise and fall of nations the brutal sweeping away of old orders and the advent of new autarchs in the eternal quest for dominion. Yet as this book reveals many potent and intimate narratives of love and passion can be found within these grand landscapes of heroism honour and death. They focus on strong relationships between women and family as well as among the anti-heroes the 'cripples bastards and broken things'. In this vital follow-up to Winter Is Coming (2015) acclaimed medievalist Carolyne Larrington explores themes of power blood-kin lust and sex in order to draw entirely fresh meanings out of the show of the century.
