The "Game Of Thrones" Season 7 premiere will come in the wake of a "GoT" 20th anniversary book release by "A Song Of Ice and Fire" (ASOIF) saga author George R.R. Martin. And well should "Game Of Thrones" be celebrated as fans are still uncovering secrets in both "ASOIF" and the HBO "GoT" series including that on Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington).
According to The BBC, "GoT," which is the first book published by George R.R. Martin in his "A Song Of Ice and Fire" saga is celebrating with a "Game Of Thrones" 20th anniversary illustrated book release. The "Game Of Thrones" 20th anniversary book is a collaboration between George R.R. Martin and Bantam books.

Of his journey that began with "Game Of Thrones," George R.R. Martin wrote a blog entry. George R.R. Martin released the "Game Of Thrones" novel in 1996, "A Clash Of Kings" in 1998, "A Storm Of Swords" in 2000, "A Feast For Crows" in 2005 and "A Dance With Dragons" in 2011.

HBO picked up "A Song Of Ice And Fire" naming the series "Game Of Thrones" in 2011. "I had no idea when this all started where it would lead... or how long the road would be," George R.R. Martin wrote of his "Game Of Thrones" journey.
The success of George R.R. Martin with his "A Song Of Ice And Fire" saga and his "Game Of Thrones" series owes much to strong fanbases that don't mind digging into the massive "GoT" and "ASOIF" lore that "GRRM" designed. Digital Spy cites one such digging that Ellie Kendrick, who plays Meera Reed in "Game Of Thrones," explained away for Jon Snow fans. After the "Game Of Thrones" Season 6 finale all but confirmed the R+L=J theory revealed where Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen were the real parents of Jon Snow, other "GoT" theories say that Jon Snow has a secret sister - Meera Reed.

According to Ellie Kendrick Meera Reed is not the sister of Jon Snow and no such revelation will com through in "Game Of Thrones" Season 7. Ellie Kendrick further says that the dark, curly locks that Meera Reed and Jon Snow share onscreen in the "Game Of Thrones" series is not the same in the "ASOIF" books.
New York Times reports that HBO will air the "Game Of Thrones" Season 7 premiere in the summer of 2017. Meanwhile George R.R. Martin and Bantam will see a "Game Of Thrones" 20th anniversary book release date for this October 2016.
