Ticket's Are Still Available For Tomorrow's Event with George R.R. Martin!

A Dance With Dragons


Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.

In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever.

Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.

From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

Martin will be signing books at our Historic Lodo store starting at 2:00 pm tomorrow, Sunday, July 31.

This event is a booksigning only. Mr. Martin will not be making a presentation. Free tickets for a place in the booksigning line are available with the purchase of A Dance With Dragons at any Tattered Cover location. Each ticket will admit one person into the booksigning line. Due to the number of fans we are expecting for this event, there will be no personalizations. There will be a two book limit per ticket. Mr. Martin will only sign books, he will not be able to sign memorabilia of any kind. And, although costumes are welcome, no weapons of any kind will be allowed in the store.
