The Three Treasons of Daenerys

Hello Gene and Big D,

Thank you for your wonderful analyses and responses to fan mail all season long. I’m sad that Game of Thrones the TV series is over and I hope GRRM doesn’t kick the bucket before the last book is finished (don’t jinx it, Big D!!)

I wanted to talk about the prophecy of Dany”s three treasons in the House of the Undying:

We were told that Dany will be betrayed three times: once for blood, once for gold and once for love. The first two betrayals are known to refer to Khal Drogo”s death and Ser Jorah selling information about Dany to Varys/ Robert Baratheon. And there had been a lot of speculation about what the third betrayal could be. Well, now we know it is Jon Snow”s betrayal by murder/ assassination, at least in the TV show.

I wonder if GRRM will have a different betrayal in store of Dany in the remaining two books or if he will bestow the same fate to her as in the TV show. Your thoughts?

Much love and respect for all you guys do,
Wendy F

    I think GRRM might arrive at the same places in different ways, but the betrayal likely are written in stone. Jon killing Dany really works to serve the prophecy of the Prince Who Was Promised, as well. But as we saw on “Game of Thrones,” selling it is easier said than done.
