The Winds of Winter is the planned sixth and penultimate novel of the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by American writer George R. R. Martin. The novel, which has been in the works since 2011, has been described as one of the most anticipated books in modern history.

Following the troubled creation of A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, which had been released in volumes due to length, Martin began The Winds of Winter with a large amount of content that had been cut from the previous entry. Martin had been optimistic that the book's writing would progress significantly faster than earlier books, initially hoping to complete the book before the television series eclipsed complete material. However, development of The Winds of Winter has been similarly troubled, causing the television series to run out of material after the fifth season and follow its own narrative which was met with an overall mixed critical reception, particularly the final season.

Since 2010 Martin has made numerous predictions regarding imminent publication of the novel, all of which passed without publication. Martin has continued to face controversy due to the delay in completion of The Winds of Winter. He has described the novel as "the curse of my life", and has previously said that he was "struggling" with the manuscript. As of January 2026, Martin has reported that he is still working on finishing The Winds of Winter with around 1,100 pages complete.
