A Song of Ice and Firebegan life as a trilogy, and has since expanded to six books. As J. R. R. Tolkien
once said, the tale grew in the telling.

The setting for the books is the great continent of Westeros, in a world both like and unlike our own,
where the seasons last for years and sometimes decades. Standing hard against the sunset sea at the
western edge of the known world, Westeros stretches from the red sands of Dorne in the south to the icy
mountains and frozen fields of the north, where snow falls even during the long summers.

The children of the forest were the first known inhabitants of Westeros, during the Dawn of Days: a race
small of stature who made their homes in the greenwood, and carved strange faces in the bone-white
weirwood trees. Then came the First Men, who crossed a land bridge from the larger continent to the
east with their bronze swords and horses, and warred against the children for centuries before finally
making peace with the older race and adopting their nameless, ancient gods. The Compact marked the
beginning of the Age of Heroes, when the First Men and the children shared Westeros, and a hundred
petty kingdoms rose and fell.
