Game of Thrones George R.R. Martin`s best-selling book series `A Song of Ice and Fire` is brought to the screen as HBO sinks its considerable storytelling teeth into the medieval fantasy epic. It`s the depiction of two powerful families -- kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and honest men -- playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and to sit atop the Iron Throne. Martin is credited as a co-executive producer and one of the writers for the series, whose shooting locations include Northern Ireland, Malta, Croatia and Spain.
