It looks like the highly anticipated "The Winds of Winter" is already being edited to make sure the book is ready for its 2017 release date. But who exactly will get killed off in the sixth novel of "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series? There are speculations that several major characters will die before the premiere of "Game of Thrones" Season 7. Will George R.R. Martin's literary bloodshed become huge spoilers for viewers of the HBO show?
George R.R. Martin Officially Done With 'The Winds Of Winter'? Who Will Die In 'TWOW'?
GamenGuide has previously reported about "The Winds of Winter" release date being leaked by Amazon France. However, the page has since been edited and George R.R. Martin's publicist has denied the book's rumored March 2017 availability. Nevertheless, some fans believe that Martin has already completed the sixth "ASOIAF" novel and that "TWOW" is currently being tweaked for publication (via Reddit). With that in mind, people are speculating on which major characters will be dead before "Game of Thrones" Season 7 airs next year.
Which Characters Will George R. R. Martin Mercilessly Kill Off In 'The Winds Of Winter'?
Stannis Baratheon would be an easy target for George R.R. Martin in the sixth novel. After all, the character has already been killed by Brienne of Tarth in "Game of Thrones" Season 5. Some believe that Stannis will not survive beyond "The Winds of Winter", but he could also be responsible for the death of another major character. Will Stannis kill Theon Greyjoy to ensure his own victory in "TWOW"?
Theon Greyjoy's TV series storyline is definitely different to what George R.R. Martin has planned for him in "ASOIAF". There is a theory suggesting that Stannis Baratheon will sacrifice Theon for blood magic on a weirwood tree to make sure that he is victorious in "The Winds of Winter". But does this mean Theon will not survive long in the show as well? Will Theon die in "Game of Thrones" Season 7?
"The Winds of Winter" release date is not confirmed just yet but fans believe the book will be available by March 2017. "Game of Thrones" Season 7 will air on HBO next summer.
