The Art of Ice and Fire, Volume II (2011).The Art of Ice and Fire, Volume I (2005).A reader can actually start with The Rogue Prince, out of publication order, without being spoiled for later events, because this is the order the material was actually originally intended to be read in. Rather, it is as if the original draft was divided up into eight parts, of which The Princess and the Queen is 'part two through part four' and The Rogue Prince is 'part one', but the parts were then released out of order.

To explain why only a 30,000 page section of the full 80,000 word text Martin wrote was not released, he gave the in-universe explanation that Gyldayn's history text was severely damaged and certain volumes lost, but that new sections are released as soon as the Citadel can locate copies of the missing sections.Īs a result, The Rogue Prince takes place immediately before The Princess and the Queen, but it isn't really a true 'prequel' because they were both written at the same time. This format allowed Martin to write about events which were public knowledge to most people in Westeros, while still keeping the secret reasons why people actually did things unknown, or allowing secret betrayals to remain secret.

Instead, it is presented as an in-universe history text from Westeros written by 'Archmaester Gyldayn'. The narrative conceit that Martin developed for these prequels is a drastic departure from his previous third person POV writing style. Therefore, as of 2015 about half of what he wrote has not been released. This was later followed by The Rogue Prince (2014), which is about 10,000 words long. Martin had to focus only on one 30,000 work piece of the larger story, which he submitted as The Princess and the Queen (2013). In his own words he got a bit carried away, and ended up writing a detailed 80,000 word history even though the maximum length set for the novella submission was 30,000 pages.

Martin began writing a detailed in-universe history text about the great Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons (in which Targaryen fought Targaryen and dragon fought dragon) as a submission for an omnibus of collected works by several authors.

There are at least nine more, unpublished novellas that Martin tentatively intends to write, for a total of twelve novellas once the entire series is finished. Others he intends to write include The Sellsword, The Champion, The Kingsguard, and The Lord Commander, along with several as-yet untitled story ideas. Another forthcoming Dunk & Egg story which he has fairly well planned out is called The Village Hero and takes place in the Riverlands. Through his blog, Martin has indicated that The She-Wolves of Winterfell was just a working title, and that the final title when it is released will be something else. The first three novellas were released in unrelated sci-fi and fantasy short story collections, and were later collected into an omnibus titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (featuring new artwork), released in 2015.
