“The seeds of war are often planted in peacetime,” author Martin told The Hollywood Reporter. The tournament is often referred to in his books and in the series. “Now we can finally tell the whole story,” said the 72-year-old.
It was recently announced that Martin is said to have signed a contract with HBO for additional TV material.
