Years in this list are first-publication years from Wikipedia. Open Library is used to confirm that each book is catalogued and to show the earliest edition it lists; it does not change the year.

  1. 1 A Game of Thrones 1996
  2. 2 A Clash of Kings 1998
  3. 3 A Storm of Swords 2000
  4. 4 A Feast for Crows 2005
  5. 5 A Dance with Dragons 2011

The five published novels of A Song of Ice and Fire, the book series behind Game of Thrones. The two planned novels have no publication year yet and are not numbered here; novellas and companion books are outside this list.

Checked against Open Library

Each book was looked up in Open Library's record of George R. R. Martin's works. Where more than one work carries the same title, the one with the most editions was used, and the earliest year printed on any of its editions is shown below as the earliest edition listed in Open Library. Each year links to that edition's record.

The two books still to come

The series is planned at seven novels. Wikipedia describes where it stands:

The most recent entry in the series, A Dance with Dragons, was published in 2011. Since then, Martin has been working on the sixth novel, titled The Winds of Winter. A seventh novel, A Dream of Spring, is planned to follow.
