Martin noted that "A Feast for Crows" would focus on "Westeros, King's Landing, the riverlands, Dorne, and the Iron Islands," and that the next novel, "A Dance with Dragons", would cover "events in the east and north." Martin also added that the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series would now likely total seven novels. "A Feast for Crows" was published months later on October 17, 2005, over five years after the previous volume in the series, "A Storm of Swords". The parallel novel "A Dance with Dragons" was released on July 12, 2011.
