The American drama Game of Thrones is adapted from the series of novels Fire and Ice, which is also the title of the first film.

Martin himself is a fanatic of medieval history, so the historical scene of this novel will naturally remind readers of the chaotic Middle Ages.

In reality, the Middle Ages, which lasted from the 5th century A.D. to15th century, was the middle period of the three traditional divisions of European history. However, the novel itself does not happen in any real historical event. The author Martin just added the characteristics of the Middle Ages to the novel and became one of the elements of the novel.

Fire and Ice focuses on Westeros' Western "Sunset Kingdom" and tells the experiences of people there under the political background at that time. The story is told through the third-person perspective of different characters.

The first volume of the series "Game of Thrones" after ice and fire was published in 1996, which mainly tells the political struggle of various forces in the seven kingdoms for the control of the capital King's Landing. The story begins with the sudden death of the Duke of jon arryn by the king in 297. Robert Baratheon, the king of the Seven Kingdoms, personally traveled thousands of miles north to Winterfell, the capital of the northern border, and invited his friend Duke eddard stark to come out of the mountain.

Game of Thrones is also a medieval epic fantasy TV series produced by American HBO TV network. The play is adapted from the fantasy novel Fire and Ice by American writer George Raymond Richard Martin.

Fire and Ice mainly describes a series of stories of court struggles, battles, adventures and magical confrontation in a fictional medieval world. In content and style, Fire and Ice is a mirror of real life and a true portrayal of human nature.

Although Game of Thrones is famous for its fantasy epic, in which the fantasy factors such as court struggle, battlefield killing, travel adventure and magic competition are fascinating, even a master like Martin himself has to admit that such a huge fictional "overhead world" must rely on the embedding of realistic factors to make readers feel the real existence of this "second world" and make this epic have its practical significance.
