Dark portents cast troubled shadows through the seventh installment of Daniel Abraham's adaptation of George R. R. Martin's bestselling epic fantasy A Game of Thrones . High atop the Wall, in an unforgiving world of wind and ice, the bastard Jon Snow and the dwarf Tyrion Lannister, by rights mortal enemies, forge an unlikely friendship. In King's Landing, Arya Stark, embittered by the loss of her direwolf, gains an unusual dancing master—Syrio Forel, formerly First Sword of the Sealord of Braavos. While in Winterfell, young Brandon Stark, who will never walk again, learns that he may yet ride . . . and perhaps even fly.

It's the DEATH ISSUE! Jen's entrail-splattering war with Mason Buwick comes to a shocking end as she crosses the line – and then another, completely different line – in her attempt to get her life back once and for all! Write all the characters down in a grid and then play bingo – because nobody is safe! Seriously, we can still call the comic 'Jennifer Blood' if she's dead. Google 'Taggart'.
