Game of Thrones theory suggests Daenerys will become The Night Queen
By Callum Gunn
Theories are flying around everywhere about Game of Thrones and this eerily convincing theory suggests Daenerys is going to end up becoming The Night Queen.
Come this time next year we will be looking at all of our Game of Thrones fan theories wondering where on earth we got some of our ideas from and marveling at how wrong we were. The series will have come to an end and we will all know, hopefully, who sits on the Iron Throne.
However, until then, we can theorize and suggest what we think is going to happen in Game of Thrones. From Arya being the sole survivor to Bran being The Night King, we are certainly not short of fan theories and the latest one doing the rounds right now suggests Daenerys will become The Night Queen.

This theory was put together in July last year by YouTuber Azor Ahype but has been picking up a bit more traction recently and it is really convincing.
Linked with the text that Gilly discovered in season 7 and the Azor Ahai legend, Azor Ahype laid out how this could all point to Daenerys becoming the Night Queen.

We know that the Night King and his army of the dead are now south of the wall and the long night has come again. Game of Thrones Season 8 will have to, at some point, focus on defeating the Night King and his army of the dead.
Unless George R.R. Martin plans to have the Night King win and sit upon the Iron Throne. Considering it is George R.R. Martin that is entirely possible.
Anyway, if the only way to defeat the Night King is by fulfilling the legend of the Azor Ahai like last time, then it all might end pretty badly for Daenerys. Jon Snow is suspected of being Azor Ahai, Daenerys is his Queen and the legend had Azor Ahai either turn his Queen into the Night Queen because he killed her with his sword Light Bringer or he killed her because she became the Night Queen.
Either way, not a great end for Daenerys.
Game of Thrones has already given us an inkling into how Daenerys could be turned into the Night Queen. If we remember Bran and his vision of the Children of the Forest creating what is expected the Night King. That same ritual could be done again.
Azor Ahai goes into much more detail in his video, which you can watch here, but ultimately if you were hoping on Daenerys sitting atop the Iron Throne, you might want to brace yourself for that to not be the case.
