Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin is dropping some major spoilers for his upcoming sixth book in the "Song Of Ice and Fire" series. Season 4 of the HBO show just wrapped leaving fans wondering what's in store for the rest of the series, both TV show and books.
Entertainment Weekly caught up with Martin who revealed fans can expect more deaths (obviously), marriages and betrayal.
"I think we're gonna start out with a big smash with the two enormous battles," Martin told EW.
The battles the author is referring to probably has something to do with Yukai attacking Meereen in an attempt to overthrow Daenerys, and Ramsay's and Stannis' blood bath in the North.
"We have more deaths, and we have more betrayals," Martin added. "We have more marriages."
Uh-oh. Marriages tend not to end well with a lot of these folks. The author also said Dothraki will be coming back "in a big way" and "a lot of stuff is happening at The Wall." Martin also dished on Tyrion and Daenerys promising that the two "will intersect" in the book.
"Well, Tyrion and Dany will intersect, in a way, but for much of the book they're still apart," he said. "They both have quite large roles to play here. Tyrion has decided that he actually would like to live, for one thing, which he wasn't entirely sure of during the last book, and he's now working toward that end - if he can survive the battle that's breaking out all around him. And Dany has embraced her heritage as a Targaryen and embraced the Targaryen words. So they're both coming home."
As far as when fans can expect The Winds of Winter to hit shelves, sadly a release date hasn't been announced yet. Martin's next book, The World of Ice and Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the World of Game of Thrones, is due out in October.
