Book Description

These are just a few of the questions answered in Gods of Thrones, vol. 2. Applying the study of religion and myth, this book offers a fresh take on the religious landscape of Ice and Fire. Advance praise for 'Gods of Thrones'... "Gods of Thrones Vol. 2" masterfully plumbs the depths of the ancient mythologies and premodern rituals, beliefs, and practices that inspire the lore of the old gods and the theology of the new--and everything in between. Inherently accessible and compulsively readable, Hubbard and Le Donne offer up a new and fascinating lens through which to view the competing and overlapping belief systems that undergird Westeros--and threaten its demise." -- Jana Mathews, PhD Professor of Medieval Literature Rollins College "A skillful analysis full of deep insight on both religion and the mega-hit Game of Thrones.
