"Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin gave fans of the book a treat Thursday.
He released a new preview chapter of the next book in the series, "The Winds of Winter,"on his official website.
It's not just a few graphs, either. The excerpt is pretty long, and is told from Sansa Stark's point of view.
Martin has been busy working on the sixth book in the series for a while now.
The author, who usually writes at least one episode of the hit HBO series per season, did not contribute to any of the episodes for season 5 of "Game of Thrones." Martin also recently announced he won't write any episodes in season 6 of the series either to focus his efforts on his next book.

"Game of Thrones" season 5 airs on HBO April 12, 2015.
While there is no set release date for "The Winds of Winter," the rumor is that it could come out late 2015.
