After the death of King Robert Baratheon, Westeros erupts into chaos as five rival kings—Joffrey Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, Robb Stark, and Balon Greyjoy—vie for the Iron Throne or independence. The series follows the shifting tides of war, political intrigue, betrayals, and the personal journeys of the great houses, culminating in the Red Wedding and the Lannister-Tyrell consolidation of power.
