“A Dance with Dragons” is the fifth book in the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. First published in 2011, it continues the sprawling narrative that has captivated millions through both the books and the HBO adaptation Game of Thrones.

Book Description:

In “A Dance with Dragons”, the Seven Kingdoms are fragmented by war and betrayal. The novel follows several key characters whose paths are converging toward monumental change:

• Jon Snow, newly elected Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, grapples with treachery and uneasy alliances as threats from both within and beyond the Wall intensify.

• Tyrion Lannister, on the run after killing his father, journeys across the Narrow Sea, navigating slavery, politics, and shifting loyalties in a bid to survive and find new purpose.

• Daenerys Targaryen, ruling the city of Meereen, faces growing unrest, political intrigue, and the ever-present danger of her dragons — and must decide how to wield her power as queen and mother of dragons.

• Elsewhere, Bran Stark seeks mystical knowledge beyond the Wall, while other would-be kings and long-lost claimants emerge to vie for control of Westeros.
