The Winds of Winter — Ser Barristan’s “Battle” Speech

WARNING: Contains spoilers for The Winds of Winter

This is a dramatic reading of Ser Barristan Selmy’s speech before the Battle of Meereen. It is taken from Barristan’s first sample chapter in The Winds of Winter (book 6 of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga).

NOTE: During the speech, Barristan gets cut off after he says “time enough to make their spear wall.” So I added the final line about the “red dawn/dragon dawn” (though it does play off something Tyrion says in his sample chapter).
