HBO’s hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin’s internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A DANCE WITH DRAGONS is the fifth volume in the series.

The future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance.

In the east, Daenerys, last scion of House Targaryen, her dragons grown to terrifying maturity, rules as queen of a city built on dust and death, beset by enemies.

Now that her whereabouts are known many are seeking Daenerys and her dragons. Among them the dwarf, Tyrion Lannister, who has escaped King’s Landing with a price on his head, wrongfully condemned to death for the murder of his nephew, King Joffrey. But not before killing his hated father, Lord Tywin.

To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Eddard Stark's bastard son Jon Snow has been elected the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, but he has enemies both in the Watch and beyond the Wall, where the wildling armies are massing for an assault.

On all sides bitter conflicts are reigniting, played out by a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves. The tides of destiny will inevitably lead to the greatest dance of all…

Critic Reviews

Praise for A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE:
'In the grand epic fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best … tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting' Time Magazine
‘An absorbing, exciting read … Martin’s style is so vivid that you will be hooked within a few pages’ The Times
‘The sheer mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads …Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias’
Guardian
‘Colossal, staggering … Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome in his imaginary world … The writing is always powerful …' SFX

Far better than the tv series

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great book. Excellent content. Voice acting was far better and cleared than the previous ones.

Totally worth the time devoted to listening to it

Incredible how the books are shaping up in comparison with the show (can't help compare, sorry). The plots are well-defined and the story seems to be moving along with finesse and complexity. Great book. Can't wait for the next!

Roy Dotrice is back to his best after a major dip in AFFC. Some inconsistencies are still there granted, but his performance is excellent overall. I wouldn't ask for anyone else in his stead.

Probably The Best Book of the Series

Great narration and amazing story. Dialogues and voice variation for Tyrion left an impression in my mind.

Other half of A Feast for Crows and beyond

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Loved every book to the end, hoping to get the next installments soon, a lot of cliffhangers left to close. Thanks George RR Martin and Roy Dotrice.

One of the best epic fantasies ever
