'The Winds of Winter' Release Date, News & Update: Jon Snow To Find New Romance In Arya Stark; Book Ready For Publishing, Out In January 2017?

While fans wait for the release date of the anticipated book, "The Winds of Winter" more and more details about the long overdue book leaked. According to recent reports, there will be more deaths in "TWOW." However, aside from that, a new romance is budding between the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and the fierce Arya Stark.

Jon Snow And Arya Stark Affair In 'The Winds of Winter'

According to Independent, Tyrion will fall 'helplessly in love" to the youngest member of the Stark after he switched allegiance to Arya's family to bring his brother Jaime down. Unfortunately, his journey to gaining Arya's affection won't be easy because there is a tough rivalry between him and Jon Snow.

Per the report, Arya did not return Tyrion's feelings. He ended up marrying her sister, Sansa Stark in "Game of Thrones". Meanwhile, it seemed that the youngest Stark would return Jon Snow's affection if the "The Winds of Winter" author pursued his initial plans.

George RR Martin wanted the half-siblings to end up "tormented" with their romance "until the secret of Jon's true parentage is finally revealed in the last book." There is only one book left after "The Winds of Winter" and at the time, Snow's parents remain a mystery.

Parent Herald previously reported that George RR Martin dropped a big teased about Jon Snow's parent, which might be revealed in "The Winds of Winter" or the book following it. In a tweet that had been deleted, the celebrity author wrote. "I'll give you a little hint: Jon's parents names rhyme with 'Schmobert Schmaratheon' and 'chmatelyn Schmark'," he wrote. You can see it here.

At the time, we do not know how Arya Stark and Jon Snow's romance will turn out should George RR Martin pursue it in "The Winds of Winter." But more likely, it will not end well and might have a tragic ending just as how popular love stories like Romeo andJuliet did.

'The Winds of Winter' Coming Out Soon

Meanwhile, there is no denying that "The Winds of Winter" is long overdue. Fans have been waiting for "TWOW" for four years and counting, and up to know, we can't tell when the book will finally see the light of day. However, according to reports, "The Winds of Winter" might be arriving soon.

George RR Martin has been generous in sharing "The Winds of Winter" free chapters, which might suggest that he is almost done with the book. According to GameNGuide, the book might be ready for publishing before the year ends and will be available by January 2017.
