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.
