A Clash of Kings is the second book in A Song of Ice and Fire, a fantasy series by George R. R. Martin. It is the best-known of his works, and has spawned a successful trading card game.
A Clash of Kings is set in a fictitious world reminiscent of Europe in the Middle Ages (primarily on a continent called Westeros), except for the fact that in this world, seasons can last decades. The tale is told through the point of view of 9 main characters:
- Lady Catelyn Stark, of House Tully, widow of Eddard Stark
- Princess Sansa Stark, eldest daughter of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark, held captive by the King on the Iron Throne at King's Landing
- Princess Arya Stark, youngest daughter of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark, missing and presumed dead
- Prince Brandon Stark, called Bran, son of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark, and heir to the North
- Jon Snow, bastard son of Eddard Stark
- Tyrion Lannister, youngest son of Tywin Lannister, a dwarf, heir to Casterly Rock
- Ser Davos Seaworth, a smuggler turned knight
- Theon Greyjoy, heir to the Seastone Chair and former ward of Lord Eddard Stark
- Queen Daenerys Targaryen, Stormborn, of the Targaryen Dynasty
