1. Stannis has some sort or trap laid out for the Boltons & Freys...the pink letter just doesn't make sense considering he put the potential Karstark threat away. I think he takes back Winterfell & Davos returns with Rickon and gives the north some stability just for a little bit until the Others overwhelm the wall and invade. The battle for winterfell will end up looking irrelevant by the end of the book.


Given the sample chapter from WOW I think it's a given he has some sort of trap to take out Bolton's forces. I'm not sure the north gets stability though, I can see the confusion following Jon's killing causing the wall to fall and allow the others through. The wildlings vastly outnumber the black crows now since Jon let them all through, I don't see Tormund and the rest just sitting idly by when Jon gets ganked. I think it gets very messy up there.

I see Stannis bringing Theon to the godswood to behead him in front of the northmen, and then Bran speaks through the heartstree and proves he and Rickon are alive and Theon didn't kill them. Then Stannis is able to ransom/pardon Theona nd Asha takes him back home to do another kingsmoot and try and unseat Euron, perhaps with their uncle the priests help.

I think Dany will have to defeat Aegon for sure, he is the mummer's dragon after all, and possibly she'll need to take out Stannis as well.

Jon will either get the kiss of life from Mel or warg into Ghost for a bit then get raised up, with the latter being more likely IMO.

I'm thinking we see the destruction of the Night's Watch, the Wall will come down when the Horn of Joramun (which has always made me think of Jorah Mormont) is finally unearthed.

I was a big backer of the Kingsmoot angle, but the Iron Islands are basically empty. I doubt Euron agrees to go back, or let others go back, for a recount. I think Theon will be forgiven and will redeem himself by helping to win back Winterfell for Rickon, but die in the process.

Dany will face arrive in Westeros at the end of the book IMO.

Jon will run around as Ghost for the entire book and then be reborn in the end.

Arya will be sent back as a faceless man to kill someone. She will reunite with Nymeria forming the most bad arse assassin tandem in the history of the universe. Nymeria will remind her of who she is and she will become Arya Stark once again.

I am clueless with the Lannisters. I'm sure Tyrion will talk his way into Dany's good graces. Jamie will do something knightly. Cersei is a toss up. I can't see her losing her trial but I really feel like Sandor will be the faith's champion, and I want him to defeat undead Gregor.
