Whether it's the Last Hero of the North or Azor Ahai of the East, legend tells of a warrior who led the army of the living and drove back the forces of darkness.

It's something we might see happen again, with prophecies swirling around the likes of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen being Azor Ahai reborn and/or the Prince That Was Promised, but this series can show us what really happened.

Was there a warrior with a flaming sword? Was there a hero who found the Children of the Forest and recruited them, surviving giants and ice spiders along the way, to help turn the tide of the Long Night? Was there a woman in Yi Ti with a monkey's tail?

Whatever legend is true, if any, it's another the series is well-placed to examine in illuminating, enthralling detail.
