What happens when you have a gap of a whole year between two successive seasons of a TV show? You have an abundance of spoilers, rumors, and shockers. And Game of Thrones is not your average TV series. With scores of clans heading towards what is believed to be a massive climax, what does the seventh season have in store for fans?
Parent Herald claims that the fierce and loyal Mormont queen Lyanna may turn her back on the Stark kids, and rethink her alliance with them. Logically speaking, her support was intended to help the Starks win over Winterfell. And now that that's happened, the child-queen may betray them.
Another spoiler that surrounds the Mormont leader is that come this season, we may learn who Lyanna Mormont's biological father is. The story goes that Lyanna took to the throne to rule in her mother's stead, while the latter was off fighting the Battle of the Five Kings. And upon her death, Lyanna became the true ruler of the Mormont house. But who, then, is her father? A report on Mobile & Apps suggests that it could perhaps be Tormund, the giant.
In another rather flamboyant rumor, Jon Snow, now Jon Targaryen, may ride his own dragon when Dany heads north and meets with her cousin. But will she head to the north right away, or will she first take King's Landing, where newly crowned Queen Cersei Lanniser reigns, before she heads to the meet the Starks?
Meanwhile, as these fights play out, the battle between the White Walkers the men at the Wall has been a long time coming. International Business Times brings our attention back to the big fight, and compares Jon to Stannis. He's one of the few people left who actually remains aware of where the true threat lies. And then of course, there's Sam. Will his books lead him to the secret to destroy the White Walkers? And will the big wall melt down in the upcoming season? We cannot wait to find out.
