As "Game of Thrones" Season 6 becomes all the more intense, so are the developments in George R.R. Martin's yet-to-come book "The Winds of Winter." Fans recently got a sneak peek into the highly-awaited sixth novel in the fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire" when Martin released several excerpts.
Perhaps the most interesting and obsessed-over chapters in the upcoming book is the one about Euron and Aeron Greyjoy. Euron Greyjoy returned to the Iron Islands in "Game of Thrones" Season 6, during which he killed Theon and Yara's father, Balon Greyjoy, and eventually became his successor.
With Euron now crowned King of the Iron Islands, Theon and Yara have fled for their lives, narrowly escaping their own persecution. Euron has large ambitions extending beyond Iron Islands - one of which is to build thousands of ships in order to appease Daenerys and gain her hand in marriage.
But "The Winds of Winter" paints a grimmer picture of Uncle Euron, who is depicted as a person far worse than the North's sadistic madman Ramsay Bolton.
According to Vulture, Euron ordered his mute goons to kidnap his brother Aeron and left him to rot away in the dungeons for a long period. Euron was also revealed to be an abuser as he sometimes visited Aeron just to torture him. Aside from the mental torture, Euron also sexually abused Aeron.
It was also revealed that Euron admitted to killing Balon, as well as other members of the Greyjoy family. What makes these murders worse is the fact that Euron enjoyed every moment of it without any ounce of guilt or remorse, Cinema Blend has learned.
It is also believed that Euron will make a pact with the White Walkers to advance his interests. In one vision narrated in the books, Aeron saw his Euron together with a "shadow in woman's form, long and tall and terrible, her hands alive with pale white fire." Could Aeron be referring to the Night King's mythical bride?
Euron is obviously "some sick mother----er," as Martin would call him. Now that fans know what he's like in the books, those rooting for Yara and Theon have a lot to worry about. The siblings are definitely going to be tangled in a huge mess with their uncle in "Game of Thrones" Season 6.
