![]() ![]() ![]() On his website, in 2013, Martin published an Arianne chapter wherein she heads for Griffin's Roost to see the young boy who is calling himself Aegon. Martin would not comment on Jon Snow's cliffhanger fate after A Dance with Dragons. Martin confirmed in March 2012 that the final two novels will take readers further north than any of the previous books: "What lies really north in my books-we haven't explored that yet, but we will in the last two books." He added, "you're definitely going to see more of the Others". Martin intends to resolve these cliffhangers "very early" in The Winds of Winter, saying, "I'm going to open with the two big battles that I was building up to, the battle in the ice and the battle at Meereen-the battle of Slaver's Bay. The previous installment, A Dance with Dragons covers less story than Martin intended, omitting at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliff-hangers. ![]()
