Martin introduces us to the complex plots of characters like Cersei Lannister, who tries to maintain power at any cost; Jaime Lannister, who seeks to redeem himself for his sins; Brienne of Tarth, who undertakes a dangerous mission in search of Sansa Stark; or Samwell Tarly, who travels south with a secret that could change the destiny of humanity.
