A Dance With Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 5

A Dance with Dragons is the fifth book in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, and it runs parallel to the events of A Feast for Crows, but with a focus on different characters and regions.

In the North, Jon Snow, now Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, makes a controversial decision to ally with the wildlings to defend the Wall against the rising threat of the Others. His leadership is tested as tensions rise within the Watch and with Stannis Baratheon, who seeks to claim the North for himself.

Across the sea, Daenerys Targaryen rules the city of Meereen, struggling to maintain peace while her dragons grow more dangerous and her enemies close in. Meanwhile, Tyrion Lannister, on the run after killing his father, finds himself entangled in a new web of politics and prophecy as he journeys east.
