A Song of Ice and Fire is one of the most popular and best-selling series in the fantasy genre, and A Dance with Dragons quickly became a significant hardcover phenomenon. Here, you will find more of the dark, epic fantasy that led Time magazine to call Martin 'the American Tolkien.' Closely linked to the companion volume A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons continues the stories of those in the north of the kingdom and across the seas, completing a picture, uniting a narrative thread, and ushering in a whole new era in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.

The successful HBO series Game of Thrones is based on George R. R. Martin's international bestseller A Song of Ice and Fire, the greatest fantasy epic of modern times. A Dance with Dragons is the fifth volume in the series.
