The Winds of Winter

by George R. R. Martin

Part of A Song of Ice and Fire, book 6

Jon Snow's fate hangs in the balance as winter descends upon the Seven Kingdoms. The sixth book in Martin's epic fantasy series picks up immediately where A Dance with Dragons left off, opening with two massive battles that will reshape the political landscape. At the Wall, Stannis Baratheon faces the Boltons in a clash amid ice and snow. Across the Narrow Sea, dragons soar over Meereen as Daenerys Targaryen's forces fight for control of Slaver's Bay. Meanwhile, the cliffhangers that ended the previous volume demand resolution. Tyrion Lannister navigates the dangerous politics of Essos. Arya Stark continues her training with the Faceless Men. Bran Stark delves deeper into his mystical powers beyond the Wall. Each character thread that Martin left hanging will find its continuation as the story builds toward the ultimate confrontation between ice and fire. The game of thrones grows deadlier as winter's grip tightens on the realm.
