Now, many read this and think "Dany" which is entirely possible.
But in the Jon Snow "betrayal" scene, we see Jon's wound smoking, the man who gave it to him crying (Salt) and a night whose rainment is made of stars dying/bleeding/etc.
I just don't see any way this story wraps up without Jon Snow and Dany being AA and the Prince who was Promised. Conceivably, both could fill either role.

The guy who gets killed by Wun Wun the giant in that scene was the result of a bet GRRM had with a buddy. Martin is a Giants fan and his buddy is a Cowboys fan so the bet was if the Cowboys beat the Giants that year, his buddy would be in the book, thus Ser Patrek. In typical GRRM fashion, Ser Patrek, with the star (Cowboys) symbol, gets murdered by a Giant.
