When Game of Thrones repay for its 6th time of year , House Martell and Dorne ’s game … well , it certainlywent some place , did n’t it ? Well , in the next instalment of George R.R. Martin ’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels , the Martells are also preparing to strike , as you could take thanks to this newly released excerpt from The Winds of Winter .
Written from the perspective of Arianne Martell , these light paragraphs nidus on House Martell ’s slow but sure movements to counterbalance the Lannisters and King ’s Landing , as the Sand Snakes dispatch themselves across the demesne to fit up with a whole innkeeper of dissimilar Johnny Reb factions — including Jon Connington and “ Young Griff , ” the boy claiming to be the very - much - alive Aegon VI .
Nyrn and Tyene may have make King ’s landing place by now , she mused , as she settle down crosslegged by the mouth of the cave to watch the falling rain . If not they ought to be there before long . Three hundred seasoned gig had go with them , over the Boneway , past the ruins of Summerhall , and up the kingsroad . If the Lannisters had tried to reverberate their little hole in the kingswood , Lady Nym would have see that it terminate in disaster . Nor would the murderers have found their prey . Prince Trystane had remained safely back at Sunspear , after a tearful part from Princess Myrcella . That accounts for one pal , thought Arianne , but where is Quentyn , if not with the gryphon ? Had he we d his firedrake tabby ? King Quentyn . It still sounded cockamamy . This new Daenerys Targaryen was younger than Arianne by half a XII years . What would a maid that geezerhood want with her dense , bookish brother ? Young girl dreamed of scud knights with wicked smiles , not solemn boys who always did their responsibility . She will want Dorne , though . If she hopes to sit the Iron Throne , she must have Sunspear . If Quentyn was the price for that , this flying dragon queen would pay off it . What if she was at Griffin ’s End with Connington , and all this about another Targaryen was just some form of subtle ruse ? Her comrade could well be with her . King Quentyn . Will I necessitate to kneel to him ?
No good would fare of wondering about it . Quentyn would be king or he would not . I pray Daenerys treat him him more gently than she did her own brother .
Oh darling . Well , suffice to say , Arianne wo n’t have to concern too much about flex her knee to her ( now very crispy and deadened ) brother Quentyn — but it ’s very noticeable how greatly Winds of Winter and Game of Thrones ’ current arcs have already diverged . The show has yet to even acknowledge the Young Griff plot , but there ’s so much more in this extract that is wildly different . Seems like there ’ll still be plentifulness of surprises left for book referee by the clip this comes along .
