Which fantasy series begins with the book 'A Game of Thrones'?
Answer
A Song of Ice and Fire
The fantasy series that begins with “A Game of Thrones” is A Song of Ice and Fire.
George R. R. Martin’s series opens with “A Game of Thrones,” published in 1996. The novels are set mainly in Westeros and Essos, where rival noble families struggle for political control while supernatural threats gather beyond the Wall and Daenerys Targaryen seeks to reclaim her family’s throne.
Martin originally conceived the project as a trilogy, but it expanded into a planned seven-book series. Five volumes have been published: “A Game of Thrones,” “A Clash of Kings,” “A Storm of Swords,” “A Feast for Crows,” and “A Dance with Dragons.” “The Winds of Winter” and “A Dream of Spring” remain planned installments.
The television adaptation uses the shortened title “Game of Thrones,” which is why readers sometimes mistake it for the name of the book series. “The Witcher,” “The Stormlight Archive,” and “The Wheel of Time” are separate fantasy series with different authors and settings.
