In George R. R. Martin's epic series, we've witnessed dragon riding, blood magic, gruesome deaths, and an army of fantastic forces. But have you ever wondered about the facts behind the fantasy? Wonder no more! Award-winning comedian and popular-science writer Helen Keen is here to uncover the astounding truths behind the mystical, blood-soaked world of GAME OF THRONES. Join her as she examines wildfire, ice walls, polar giantism, and every exotic feature of Westeros and beyond. Find out the truth behind zombification, talking trees, faceless assassins, and semi-naked duels. Discover why White Walkers are kind of like wasps and how to "warg" in the comfort of your living room. Venture deeper into the domain of dire wolves and enchanted swords and visit some of the exciting, near-magical frontiers of real-world science.
