Fans of the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' saga, who have been waiting over a decade for the next instalment, found themselves caught between hope and scepticism over the weekend. A post made the rounds on social media with details about the anticipated 'The Winds of Winter', including its purported release date, claims that the book's publisher has since dismissed as false.
The anonymous post, shared on X by an account named 'Ned Stark,' claimed to screenshot a message from a production assistant at Bantam Spectra, the science fiction and fantasy imprint of Bantam Books, the US publisher of the ASOIAF series. Bantam Books has since broken its silence to address the post directly.
