Which major Game of Thrones characters are likely to survive George RR Martin’s next novel?

GeorgeRR Martin’s The Song of Ice and Fire saga has always been a rollercoaster of shocking character deaths, keeping fans glued to their seats from day one. As we wait for The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in this epic saga, speculation about who will make it through the pages unscathed is hotter than a dragon’s breath. While the fate of many remains as murky as the waters of Blackwater Bay, a few characters appear to have a safety net, thanks to Martin’s original vision.

In 1993, Martin teased that five main characters would survive the chaos and grow from children to world changers. Fast forward to today, and that promise still resonates, albeit with a few bad twists. So let’s dive into the speculation and see who could avoid the Grim Reaper’s scythe in The Winds of Winter!

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion Lannister was Martin’s favorite, which made it less surprising that he was ready to survive. The author once called Tyrion the “easiest to write,” indicating a deep connection to the character. As Tyrion tiptoes through the minefield between Daenerys Targaryen and King’s Landing, he is still the MVP of this chaotic saga. With his dark atmosphere in the books and that road trip to meet Dany in Meereen, fans are excited about his crucial role in the epic showdowns ahead. And if Martin’s sketch is anything to go by, we might just see Tyrion nailing his old gig as Hand of the King again, especially with those final two novels looming on the horizon.

Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys‘Fate also seemed safe. After biting the dust on Game of Thrones, fans were all over speculation about how Daenerys might shake things up in The Winds of Winter. Picture this: Dany steps back to Meereen, ready to stir the pot before heading to Westeros, where the political drama is about to reach critical mass. Now that Aegon Targaryen – yes, Rhaegar’s child – is on the scene looking at the Iron Throne, Dany is in for a wild ride.

Arya Stark

In the meantime, From Arya Stark survival almost seemed like a given. Her story in The Winds of Winter would mirror the elements of Game of Thrones season 6, focusing on her adventures in Braavos. Although she faced off against familiar foes such as Raff the Sweetling, her struggle with identity and revenge would continue to define her character. Lady Stoneheart’s absence from the show indicated a unique twist in her story, which saw her get away from revenge and reclaim her Stark identity.

Bran Stark

Bran Stark’s journey also offered survival potential. As the first POV character in A Game of Thrones, his significance couldn’t be overstated. Although Game of Thrones surprised fans with his ascension to the throne, Martin’s story could further explore Bran’s transformation into the Three-Eyed Raven. With Bran’s training and backstory, his fate could become intertwined with Arthurian legends, potentially leading him to a satisfying conclusion that aligns with Martin’s vision.

Jon Snow

Last but certainly not least, the fate of Jon Snow loomed large. It was believed that the central character was destined to survive, despite the need for his resurrection after his shocking death at the end of A Dance with Dragons. As the secret child of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, Jon’s significance in the fight against the Others was undeniable. His journey could mirror some elements of Game of Thrones, but the depth of his character and the consequences of his resurrection promised to produce a darker, more complex Jon in The Winds of Winter.

As fans eagerly await the release of The Winds of Winter, the journeys of these characters inspire hope and excitement. George RR Martin’s intricate stories have left us wanting more, and while no one is ever truly safe in their world, the survival of these central figures seems all but guaranteed – at least for now.
