It is the first adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of high fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin. The series is set in the mythical land of Westeros, where seven noble families fight for control, friction between the houses leads to full-scale war, and a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. Amidst the war, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horror.

According to the episode synopsis for season seven, episode six, titled Beyond the Wall, Jon and the Brotherhood hunt the dead. Meanwhile, Arya confronts Sansa, and Tyrion thinks about the future.

The series was created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss and is associated with the production efforts of creators and directors involved in the sprawling fantasy drama broadcast on HBO.
