George R.R. Martin Releases New Chapter from THE WINDS OF WINTER

With a new season of GAME OF THRONES underway on HBO, creator George R.R. Martin has unveiled a new excerpt from the sixth installment in the THE SONG OF ICE AND FIRE series, titled THE WINDS OF WINTER.

In the blog post announcing the excerpt, Martin wrote:

"You want to know what the Sand Snakes, Prince Doran, Areo Hotah, Ellaria Sand, Darkstar, and the rest will be up to in WINDS OF WINTER? Quite a lot, actually. The sample will give you a taste. For the rest, you will need to wait.

And no, just to spike any bulls rumors, changing the sample chapter does NOT mean I am done. See the icon up above? Monkey is still on my back... but he's growing, he is, and one day..."

Martin has been working on The Winds of Winter for a number of years. The previous entry in The Song of Ice and Fire series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in 2011.
