• A Dance with Dragons is the fifth of seven novels in the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. "The Dance of Dragons" is the name given to a civil war in the prior history of Westeros, leading to much speculation that the novel will feature the invasion of Westeros by the army of Daenerys Targaryen.

  A Dance of Dragons was originally the title of the second novel in the sequence, when Martin still envisaged the series as a trilogy. Some early US editions of A Game of Thrones list A Dance of Dragons as the forthcoming second volume in the series. The anthology Legends, which features the novella The Hedge Knight from the same universe, lists it as the fourth installment of the series.
