exploring my image of jon snow while reading (atm im in the middle of storm of swords, thinking of switching to akotsk for some time)

The Folio Society presents an illustrated collector’s edition of A Clash of Kings

The fight for the Iron Throne heats up in A Clash of Kings. George R. R. Martin barely gives the reader time to recover from the shocks of the first book as four potential kings come into contention. Meanwhile, our favourite characters face extraordinary trials simply to survive. Following on from The Folio Society’s wildly successful edition of A Game of Thrones, this unique two-volume set is packed with details that fans will love, including specially designed chapter headings and spectacular bindings. Jonathan Burton returns to capture all the grandeur, spectacle and emotion, with six colour illustrations and a double-page spread in each volume. Described by Martin as ‘masterpieces of the bookmaker’s art’, these are the finest editions of this generation’s most celebrated fantasy series, and if the first volume is anything to go by, A Clash of Kings will soon be as rare as dragon eggs. 

A set of family trees, updated to reflect the births, deaths and new alliances since the events of A Game of Thrones, keeps the reader from confusing their Mallisters with their Mormonts. Meanwhile, the Kings have dedicated entries in this edition, with genealogies and descriptions of their banners. As each chapter focuses on a different character, Jonathan Burton has designed individual sigils too: a lion resplendent on an open book for Tyrion Lannister; a ship with an onion on its sail for Ser Davos, the onion knight. The endpapers are emblazoned with the sigils of each of the Houses, and even the slipcase holds a surprise – the inside has been printed with a fiery portrait of Melisandre, the red priestess of R’hllor.

“Lyanna proved to be a strong-willed girl who grew into a slender beauty. She was a skilled horsewoman, and practiced at tilting at rings.”
