It has been over a decade since the last Game of Thrones book was released. Fans have been waiting impatiently for George R. R. Martin to finish the next book in the series, The Winds of Winter. Meanwhile, they’re still trying to uncover what they can about where the novels are going, in some cases unearthing new evidence from sources years old.
Novelist and A Song of Ice and Fire fan BryndenBFish recently posted a new find on the series subreddit: “Back in the day, George RR Martin read part of Victarion’s first chapter from TWOW at tiff bell lightbox [in 2012],” he wrote. “But he only read part of the chapter. I was re-watching George read this chapter, and then I noticed something at the end of the reading.”
“At the very end, George flipped to the next page of the Victarion chapter for a brief moment, didn’t read any further and then set the manuscript aside. But for a moment, a whole page, previously unseen was visible.”
A Song of Ice and Fire fans have miraculously deciphered the code from the extremely blurry image. The first paragraph reads:
“When the priest was gone, the dusky woman [illegible] the [illegible] [illegible] and [longer word but has to be a verb] and [illegible] it in the smile from hell
His left arm, the [illegible] and dressing from his arm.
[First underlined portion], he thought.”
And the second:
“The [something] Victarion Greyjoy
Red Priest”
