Hello everyone! Today I'm discussing shadowbinding in ASOIAF and Game of Thrones, as well as the role this practice may play in The Winds of Winter.

Be sure to subscribe if you enjoyed this video! What do you think? Is there anything I missed? Do you think this arc should've been included in #gameofthrones? What do you think of #houseofthedragon so far? More #asoiaf content is on the way!

Thank you all for watching! I'll be back with more theories next week! Art in the thumbnail is from the A Clash of Kings graphic novel.
