A woman who was only a shade of the former Lady of Winterfell, Lady Stoneheart had risen from the dead thanks to the blood magic of the Brotherhood Without Banners Ser Beric Dondarrion died much earlier to bring her back. Despite several books having been published since A Storm of Swords , Stoneheart has reappeared sparingly, most recently by nearly hanging Brienne of Tarth for suspected treachery with the Kingslayer.

However, this cliffhanger to their storylines from A Dance with Dragons will not be answered until the publication of The Winds of Winter. Indeed, the show Game of Thrones excised this subplot entirely. And now we have some explicit explanation as to why from showrunners David Benioff and D. Ad — content continues below. Speaking with James Hibberd in his book Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon , the pair are quoted in excerpts on EW as to why Stoneheart was left strictly as a character in the books.

I think that scene is where the public response came from. We wanted to keep our powder dry for that. She's a terrifying, mostly silent figure hellbent on revenge, and her most recent appearance in the books left readers on a diabolical cliffhanger that's been dangling since EW has an excerpt from an upcoming book called Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon , which follows the behind-the-scenes details of Game of Thrones , and Benioff explained that "there was never really much debate" about including Lady Stoneheart in the show.

He acknowledges that there's "that one great scene" of her in the books, and Weiss agrees. But there are three reasons they ultimately decided not to include her. Second, the showrunners feared that including Stoneheart when Jon Snow's resurrection was coming up might be leaning a bit too much on the resurrection angle. We wanted to keep our powder dry for that.
