As of right now, "A Dance with Dragons" is the most recent published title in the planned seven-book series. House Stark has largely lost all its power, with the remaining siblings scattered and the brutal House Bolton taking over. Sansa faces an uncertain future, while Arya goes deeper into her assassin training, and Bran begins to uncover his supernatural powers of "greensight."
Exiled and in danger, Tyrion learns more about Daenerys — including the fact that the spymaster, Varys, has reportedly helped hide Dany's presumed-dead nephew, meaning there's another Targaryen heir out there. Daenerys herself struggles to consolidate power, with her followers fighting among themselves, and her dragons causing problems. Cersei faces a trial by combat, and Jon's attempt to change some of the Night Watch's practices and loyalties puts him in grave danger.
