'Winds Of Winter' Theory: What To Expect From Story

A release date announcement of “Winds of Winter” is expected sometime later this year. George RR Martin has already teased on several occasions that there will be many deaths in the next book and gave hints on what the story will be.

The “Game of Thrones” TV series has already spoiled the ending of “A Song of Ice and Fire,” but the books are expected to take a different path. Some of the characters that died early on the show are still alive in the novels, and there are many other characters to read who haven’t appeared on the show.

One similarity between the books and the TV show that the fans can expect is that the stories will start to converge. Many of the point of view characters will start coming together in the next book, Winter Is Coming reported. Just like in the previous books, there will be many deaths in “Winds of Winter,” and Martin has confirmed that some of these deaths will be of the point of view characters.

The upcoming book will start with two major battles. The first is the Battle of Winterfell that will be fought with the Boltons on the one side and Stannis on the other. The other major battle is that of Slaver’s Bay, which will be between Daenerys’ forces against the Yunkai.

Martin is currently busy finishing the book. He previously confirmed that he is busy writing at his desk amid the coronavirus quarantine. The author has assured the fans that he is safe and that he is taking all necessary precautions.

When will “Winds of Winter” be released? Martin previous told his fans on his blog that he intends to finish the book by August this year. The publishers should take a few months after getting the manuscript to launch it.
