“A Clash of Kings,” the second part of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, depicts the disintegration of the kingdoms of Westeros after the death of King Robert, as everyone vies for the Iron Throne.

Stannis and Renly Baratheon fight for power, while Robb Stark leads his rebellion in the North, and Joffrey rules with brutality and madness under the influence of House Lannister.
