  • "In 1547 Scotland has been humiliated by an English invasion and is threatened by machinations elsewhere beyond its borders, but it is still free. Paradoxically, her freedom may depend on a man who stands accused of treason. He is Francis Crawford of Lymond, a scapegrace nobleman of crooked felicities and murderous talents, possessed of a scholar's erudition and a tongue as wicked as a rapier. In The Game of Kings this extraordinary antihero returns to the country that has outlawed him — to redeem his reputation even at the risk of his life." -Vintage ed. back cover

Text
  • Tyrion emerges from speaking to Queen Cersei in the council chambers. "Looks like I'll be staying a while," he says. "Care to tarry with me, Kirth?"
  • Pledge to stand by Tyrion's side as a Lannister brother.
  • "Agreed might be a strong word. She has no choice. She needs me to keep Joff in line, she needs my father's armies and she wants Jaime back."
  • Ask if Cersei agreed to make him Hand of the King.
  • Commit to stay only for a short while.
  • Find out what Tyrion's plans are.
  • Probe to learn more about the political situation.
  • "King's Landing is dangerous and full of crime. They're not calling it "Joff's Comet" in the streets -- someone's got to bring some order here."
  • "Joff's alienated most of the realm including the High Septon by killing Ned Stark. The council's likely to assassinate me. Business as usual."
  • Offer to remain in King's Landing so long as it's lucrative.
