While it is official that George R.R. Martin isn’t going to get The Winds of Winter out before HBO’s Game of Thrones starts spoiling the books, the author is at least giving readers a little peek at the new book.
Martin posted a full chapter from the upcoming book on his website. It comes over a year after he posted a draft. Of course, the new chapter does spoil events in the previous A Song of Ice and Fire books and the events will be covered in the series (at least in part).
The author and publisher HarperCollins already confirmed in January that The Winds will not be published by the end of 2015. As a result, the i>Game of Thrones showrunners had to admit last month that the series will have to start spoiling events in Martin’s next book.
Martin is dedicating his time to finishing the new novel and will not be writing any episodes for GOT season six.
The previous book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Dance with Dragons, was released back in 2011.
