In 1996, George RR Martin introduced us all to the world of Westeros with his release of the first installment of A Song of Ice and Fire titled A Game of Thrones. Since then, HBO has created a phenomenal series, as well as its newest prequel series House of the Dragon that I LOVE.

Below is a list of all of the books written by George RR Martin taking place in Westeros.
