![]() People have a funny habit of assuming prophecy applies to them. I know the popular fan theories about who Ice and Fire are but who will tell (sing) their story? This is all about bringing them all together. You have Ice and you have Fire, but the phrase is "a song of ice and fire," so who's doing the singing?

Who do you think the three heads of the dragon will be? Or is there a different prophecy that you're more excited about? Rhaegar says, " is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire," and then to Dany, "There must be one more.The dragon has three heads." In the book version, she walks through a maze of prophetic visions, eventually encountering a man and woman, presumably her elder brother Rhaegar and his wife Elia, holding their newborn child Aegon. But the one most on my mind is in A Clash of Kings, when Dany visits the House of the Undying. And that's not even getting into the fact that Martin was inspired by England's War of the Roses, so there are all sorts of potential parallels with various Edwards and Henrys.

Martin has flirted pretty heavily with predestination over the course of the series. Meredith: Let's just jump straight into the thick of it.

We cover book and TV series plot points throughout, so proceed with caution if you're wary of spoilers. To that purpose, Josh Soule and I embarked on a freewheeling conversation on the future of the Seven Kingdoms and its surrounds. We're now at the exciting moment where the TV narrative has begun outpacing the books, so that means it's the perfect time to debate the events about to unfold. Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire has existed in book form for twenty years and in television form for five.
