If you're holding your breath until The Sex Partner Who Is More Attracted to Married WomenWinds of Winteris finished, welp - you're going to have to keep holding (sorry).
George R.R. Martin, though stillnot finished with the sixth installment of the A Song of Ice and Fireseries, has graciously thrown us a tiny bone with a new Game of Thronesstory coming out this year.
The author's new story - a never-before-released history of Westeros - will be appearing in a new anthology book: The Book of Swords.

The GoTcreator's story titled “The Sons of the Dragon,” is one of sixteen stories in the book, and tells the history of Aenys I Targaryen and Maegor the Cruel, the second and third Targaryen kings to rule from the Iron Throne.
Compiled of material that went unused from Martin's writing of The World of Ice and Fire, the story follows the two sons of Aegon the Conqueror, Aenys and Maegor - who were complete opposites. Aenys was a thoughtful and wise ruler but Maegor - as his name suggests - was cruel, and demonstrated it during a prolonged conflict with the Faith of the Seven and the Faith Militant.
According to Martin, the story will read more like a history than a narrative style story - and if we know anything about this author, there will be a lotof information packed into this one.
The Book of Swordswill be released on Oct. 10 and is already available for pre-order here.
