While not even George R.R. Martin himself is too certain abouthis prediction of a 2017 release for the long - awaited current of air of Winter , we now bonk at least one story from the world of Westeros will see mark this class : as part of an upcoming fantasy anthology account book .
Martin has penned several short report typeset in the earthly concern of A Song of Ice and Fire in the past — and it looks like another is fall in this yr ’s Book of Swords , edited by Gardner Dozois . Eagle eyed fans spotted that a unexampled listing for the anthology , which is due out October 10 , advertises that one of the 15 chronicle contained within is “ a new story from George R. R. Martin set in the world of A Game of Thrones . ” Sadly , there ’s not much more information about the storey than that just yet .
Before anyone gets too furious at the cerebration of Martin writing and issue something this year that is n’t the up-to-the-minute entryway in the A Song of Ice and Fire serial , which fans have been wait for since 2011 , there ’s a good amount ofspeculation float aroundthat this new narration is n’t actually 100 percent new content . Instead , it could be re - appropriated stories from wide Westerosi traditional knowledge Martin has written over the years for other projects , and read at convention appearances — something we know the author hasa lot of lying around .

But no matter what the story ends up being , at least there ’s one teeny new number of Game of Thrones subject making its mode out from the author this twelvemonth . We can only continue to hope that Winds of Winter is n’t too far behind it .
