Tor.com has released GRRMs excerpt from the Dangerous Women anthology.
quote:
The Dance of the Dragons is the flowery name bestowed upon the savage internecine struggle for the Iron Throne of Westeros fought between two rival branches of House Targaryen during the years 129 to 131 AC. To characterize the dark, turbulent, bloody doings of this period as a “dance” strikes us as grotesquely inappropriate. No doubt the phrase originated with some singer. “The Dying of the Dragons” would be altogether more fitting, but tradition and time have burned the more poetic usage into the pages of history, so we must dance along with the rest.

From the long review linked at the end of the article:
quote:
Beyond all these little bits of Westerosi history repeating, we also get our first real glimpse of dragon-centric warfare, along with the problem of finding able riders. Since dragons will only accept and bond with riders of Targaryen blood, the story chronicles the search for bastard-born “dragonseeds” to join the fray (with mixed results)—a subplot which clearly holds some potential relevance for Daenerys and her trio of dragons as events continue to unfold in the novels…
So we finally get some details on dragon training and use.

I was rereading a feast for crows and don't know if this has been discussed in this thread but right before Aemon dies he goes over the prophecy for AA while thinking it's Dany but it made me further believe it was Jon. Aemon says " Rhaegar was certain the bleeding star had to be a comet" I believe the bleeding star was Sir Arthur Dayne the sword of morning of starfell that bled the day Jon Snow was born. This may have been discussed but I havn't really been in this thread and its way to long to go back and check.

Now we need for someone to digitally rip the Martin story out of the book and torrent it or put it on Usenet.
Well, shite. Not coming out until December.

Does this shoot down Tyrion as one of the "three heads"?
