I wouldn't assume we'll see that formation reflected in the books. I think that was more along the lines of visual storytelling and a chance to see Jon reborn a second time. I assume the book telling will be different. Plus Ramsay himself's also a different character in the books.
(Just pointing that out in the context of historical references used by grrm - or in this case maybe not used by grrm....)
It's hard to tell where he's going in any case. I thought for a while Jon might be a new Night's King, connecting him to an ancestor (Brandon Stark, if Old Nan was to be believed - one way the show has widely diverged from the book...) and that Dany was Azor Ahai, and there we'd get our ice and fire, but now who knows...
Hopefully tomorrow night gives us some clues.
