You Can Be Violently Murdered In A Game Of Thrones Book For £20,000

What a bargain.

Game Of Thrones author George R. R. Martin certainly knows how to kill off characters in a spectacular fashion, and now he's offering a fan the chance to be a victim of a gruesome death in his new book.

For £20,000, the author will name a character after a male and female fan and kill them in an upcoming A Song of Ice and Fire novel as part of a crowdfunding campaign for two organizations, the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and The Food Depo.

The winner can choose what title they'll hold in Westeros, including Knight, Lady, and Lord, and Martin promises the character will meet "a grisly death!"
