Warning: This story contains spoilers for the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
George R. R. Martin has told how Lady Stoneheart will have an “important part” in the next instalment of the series, The Winds of Winter.
The resurrected alter-ego of Catelyn Stark has been in the book series since the epilogue of A Storm of Swords – and has only appeared in one chapter between A Feast For Crows and A Dance With Dragons.
And while she may have been cut from the HBO adaptation of the series, George R. R. Martin told the Chinese version of Esquire that she’s still going strong in book 6.
According to BryndenBFish of the Wars and Politics of Ice and Fire, he explained:
“After Catelyn’s resurrection, it was Lady Stoneheart who became a vengeful and merciless killer.
“In the sixth book, I still continue to write her. She is an important part of the entire book.”
The author also opened up about his workalike, including the fact that he’s got six projects on the go at the moment.
He added:
“I work every day, like jumping between six different projects.
“Of course, the most important, most difficult, most ambitious and [the one that’s taking the] longest time is The Winds of Winter.”
