"Game of Thrones" Prequel Coming?

Martin did not directly admit it, but the author claimed that he holds several thousands of pages that detail the history of Westeros before the "Games of Thrones," according to Deadline. This indicates that the author is not only working on "The Winds of Winter" but also on an unnamed prequel book.

"Game of Thrones" Season 7 Plot Leaked?

Meanwhile, the plot for the "Games of Thrones" Season 7 has been leaked online. The upcoming season of GOT is currently being produced in Spain, and the casts were disappointed when news of the plot leak reached them. The HBO plot series has advanced beyond the current GOT novel, which is why fans no longer have any idea on what to expect from the HBO show. The leak, however, may force the producers and writers to rewrite the plot but this is only a theory.
