Sneak Peek "Enemies" from HBO's"Game Of Thrones", based on the book "A Storm of Swords":
"...autumn has fallen across the world, with winter not far behind. The people should be preparing for years of snow and ice, but the 'Seven Kingdoms of Westeros' instead remain gripped by civil war.
"Would-be king 'Renly Baratheon' has been assassinated, altering the alliances in the war. The cruel boy-king 'Joffrey Baratheon' has won a great victory by securing an alliance with 'House Tyrell', with his supporters defeating his uncle 'Stannis' in an epic battle. Joffrey now commands the largest armies in the realm and his triumph appears inevitable.
"He must also win back the allegiance of 'House Frey', whom he has offended by breaking his marriage pact to them. King Robb has won every battle he has fought, but as with old 'King Robert', the Starks will have to see if good soldiers make good kings.
"'Stannis Baratheon' may be defeated and most of his army destroyed or scattered, but he is not out of the fight yet.
"Having retreated to his headquarters on 'Dragonstone' island with his handful of surviving soldiers, Stannis' status as the last legitimate heir to his older brother Robert still casts a shadow over Joffrey's claim to the throne.
"With the priestess 'Melisandre' at his side, Stannis can still influence the course of the war by striking where least expected.
"The lives of many others still hang in the balance. 'Bran Stark' and his protectors must cross the frozen wastelands of the North to reach the 'Wall', while 'Arya' must brave the war-torn 'Riverlands' in search of her mother and brother.
"Brienne' also has the thankless task of taking the captive 'Jaime Lannister' home across hundreds of miles of battlefields and carnage.
"'Theon Greyjoy' must face the consequences of his actions at 'Winterfell'. And in 'King's Landing' both 'Tyrion Lannister' and 'Sansa Stark' must brave the currents of a much more dangerous court in order to survive.
"On the eastern continent, 'Daenerys Targaryen' has fled the political viper-pit of 'Qarth'. Her dragons are growing and her fame is spreading, but to take the 'Iron Throne' she will need supporters and an army. Both may be found in the corrupt cities of 'Slaver's Bay'... for a price.
"Beyond the Wall, the 'White Walkers' are on the move, threatening both the 'Seven Kingdoms' and the lands of the 'Free Folk'. While the 'Night's Watch' faces the threat of the White Walkers in the field, 'Jon Snow' must infiltrate the 'wildling' army of 'Mance Rayder' and discover the King-Beyond-the-Wall's plans.
