There’s one prophecy in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, titled “Prince That Was Promised”: A hero is to rise to defeat the darkness and restore order to the world, which is often associated with the rebirth of light and the defeat of others. No prophecy is ever seen without the mystical sword, Lightbringer, and interpretations offered by various characters, like Melisandre, who believes that Stannis Baratheon is the prophesied prince. The promised figure remains mysterious – a much-debated and intriguing topic throughout the series.
