TRYAL IS SURROUNDED BY WEIRDNESS. His brother talks to spiders, his girlfriend hears voices from the future, the boy across the street walks on water, and his best friend is Death herself. He's the odd, talentless one in the group but that's okay with him because he's a coward. It's a strange (but, so far, safe) life for Tryal. Their peaceful existence comes to an end when terrifed Death begs Tryal to protect a little girl named Hood. Even worse, Death forgot to tell him about the Cinders, relentless shadow wolves with eyes of flames, pursuing the girl. Tryal and his friends flee their sleepy Nebraska town with Hood but soon make a frightening discovery: the girl is wanted by far darker forces that threaten both this world and the next. To make matters worse, a crazed duo of serial killers have now made Tryal their target of obsession. To solve the mystery that is Hood, and protect her, Tryal will have to face his fears and discover a great power hidden within himself . . . and it's the very reason Death has chosen him from the beginning.

Set in the fictitious world of Westeros, the hit television series Game of Thrones chronicles the bitter and violent struggle between the realm’s noble dynasties for control of the Seven Kingdoms. But this beloved fantasy drama has just as much to say about the successful strategies and real-life warfare waged in our own time and place. Winning Westeros brings together more than thirty of today’s top military and strategic experts, including generals and admirals, policy advisors, counterinsurgency tacticians, science fiction and fantasy writers, and ground‐level military officers, to explain the strategy and art of war by way of the Game of Thrones saga. Each chapter of Winning Westeros provides a relatable, outside‐the‐box way to simplify and clarify the complexities of modern military conflict. A chapter on the doomed butcher’s boy whom Arya Stark befriends by World War Z author Max Brooks poignantly reminds us of the cruel fate that civilians face during times of war. Another chapter on Jaqen H’ghar and the faceless men of Bravos explores the pivotal roles that stealth and intelligence play in battle. Whether considering the diplomatic prowess of Tyrion Lannister, the defiant leadership style of Daenerys Targaryen, the Battle of the Bastards and the importance of reserves, Brienne of Tarth and the increased role of women in combat, or dragons as weapons of mass destruction, Winning Westeros gives fans of Game of Thrones and aspiring military minds alike an inspiring and entertaining means of understanding the many facets of modern warfare. It is a book as captivating and enthralling as Game of Thrones itself.
