This special edition, featuring artwork by Jeffrey R. McDonald, is scheduled for release on November 4, 2025. Fans can already preorder this beautifully illustrated book from top retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.

It has been five years since the last release, A Storm of Swords, received this treatment in November 2020. The new edition of A Feast for Crows will also include a foreword by Joe Abercrombie, adding further value to this collector's item. Martin mentioned that some interior illustrations will be shared later this spring, building anticipation for the book's release. If you're new to collecting these editions, the first three illustrated books in the series are already available and ready for purchase.

For those eagerly awaiting The Winds of Winter, the wait continues. In a December 2024 interview, Martin hinted at the possibility that he might never complete the book in his lifetime, a sobering thought after his November 2023 update where he mentioned having already written 1,100 pages. Despite this, there remains hope that the series will eventually be completed, perhaps by another author. With the fourth illustrated edition on the horizon, it seems likely that the first five special editions will be completed before The Winds of Winter sees the light of day.
