It’s been four long, hard years for Game of Thrones fans waiting for George RR Martin to write the next book in the Song of Ice and Fire series.
But it looks like the wait is nearly over as an editor for Spanish publisher Ediciones Gigamesh, which owns the rights to the books, has revealed that it’s planned for 2016.
Fan site Watchers on the Wall reports that Alejo Cuervo, who knows the author personally, revealed this in an interview with radio station El món a RAC1:
Radio host: ‘And the sixth book will come out…?’
Cuervo: ‘It’s planned for next year.’
