DescriptionHBO’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: Dreams and Dust is the first part of the fifth volume in the series. Set in a sprawling world of political intrigue, complex characters, and epic battles, this part continues the saga just as tensions are at their peak.
In King's Landing, Tyrion Lannister has been accused of the murder of his nephew, King Joffrey. Having also killed his father, he is now a fugitive with a considerable price on his head. His journey of survival reveals dangerous paths and uncertain allies as he struggles to find his new place in the world.
To the north lies the Wall, an immense fortification of ice and stone that serves as the last line of defence against the threats lurking beyond. Jon Snow, recently elected as the 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, faces opposition from within as well as the impending dangers from the wild lands outside the Wall. Jon's leadership is continually tested as he attempts to navigate the treacherous political and physical landscapes.
Meanwhile, across the sea in the city of Meereen, Daenerys Targaryen contends with the challenges of ruling a city built on dreams and dust. As she tries to enforce her vision of justice and confronts emerging threats, her struggle to maintain control becomes ever more arduous.
Richly satisfying and utterly engrossing, according to the Sunday Times, A Dance With Dragons: Dreams and Dust is a masterful continuation of a series where loyalties are tested, and power comes at a grave cost. The rich tapestry of interconnected storylines and deeply realised characters ensures that readers are drawn deeper into Martin's breathtakingly detailed world.
