HBO have sent out the following details on Game Of Thrones season 3. They also included a full list of new and returning cast members, but there was no mention of Misfits actor Iwan Rheon who was supposedly confirmed to be playing Ramsay Bolton (or Ramsay Snow if you want to piss him off by using his bastard name). I guess HBO still want to try to maintain some mystery around that.
As Blackwater Bay cools, the victors consolidate their power and rebuild King's Landing. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and - above all - survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn...
..As season three begins, the Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King's Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon's forces. Yet Robb Stark, King in the North, still controls much of the South as well, and has yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night's Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms, but nobody knows what happened to its Lord Commander and the force he led beyond the Wall.
Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen - reunited with her three growing dragons - ventures into Slaver's Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.
And in case you missed it, here is what we can expect from the premiere episode:
Episode #21: "Valar Dohaeris"
Debut: SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT)
"Jon is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night's Watch survivors retreat south. In King's Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward. Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out. Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Daenerys sails into Slaver's Bay."
