Locus Award for Best Fantasy novel 2012. Hugo Award nominee 2012, World Fantasy Award nominee 2012, British Fantasy Award nominee 2012.
Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series — as
both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a
fragmented empire.
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE
In
the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms
hangs in the balance — beset by newly emerging threats from every
direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House
Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust
and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out
to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest
for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.
Fleeing
from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making
his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the
rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo
Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever.
Meanwhile, to the north
lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone — a structure only as strong as
those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s
Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not
only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of
ice.
From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate
betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests,
soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly
insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the
strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of
destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.
“Filled with vividly rendered set pieces, unexpected turnings, assorted cliffhangers and moments of appalling cruelty, A Dance with Dragons is epic fantasy as it should be written: passionate, compelling, convincingly detailed and thoroughly imagined.” — The Washington Post
