A Dance with Dragons is the fifth part of G. R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series. Summary of the Book In the wake of a great battle, everything is in chaos. The fate of the Seven Kingdoms is in doubt, for there are threats everywhere. Eastward, the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, reigns supreme with her three dragons. However, not even her reign is without risk, for there are thousands who would claim her head. One lonely man sets off on a task for her, but his goal is a secret he alone knows. Tyrion Lannister is fleeing for his life, making his way towards Daenerys. At the helm of his band of unlikely misfits lies a man who would upset Daenerys’ claim to the Seven Kingdoms forever. In the North, atop the great Wall of ice and stone, the 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, Jon Snow, waits for his greatest challenge. His enemies, however, lurk on both sides of the Wall. Events converge as the epic story G. R. R. Martin began decades ago speeds up, and again readers are reminded of a saying from Westeros: Valar Morghulis, All Men Must Die. About G. R. R.
