In its fourth season, Game of Thrones is expected to come back with a few major surprises. In the first three seasons, the show never failed to keep the audience on the edge of their seats with several shocking twists. Without a doubt, Season 4 will not fail to deliver when it debuts on April 6. It is rumored that in the first few episodes of the new season, major characters of the show will die in unexpected ways, which will pave the way for other characters to gain prominence and form alliances.

Other than those unexpected deaths, major overhaul can also be expected for some characters. The show has decided to not just go with the book by book delivery of the story but instead wanted to produce a different angle to highlight certain scenes and make the story more interesting to viewers. HBO has already announced a few months ago that the third book in the series, A Storm of Swords, will be divided into seasons 3 and 4. However, the last ten episodes of the season will include some stories that have pulled from books four and five; A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons. The timelines were also shuffled and some story tweaks have been made.

In summary, season 4 will more or less depict the War of Five Kings that is brewing. This is due to the threat that is approaching the Wall. There will be some minor characters that will emerge as leaders while some others will become killers. There will also be unexpected fights between characters who used to be allies. Other characters will continue moving from one place to another in quest of victory.

Whatever happens in this season, major fans of the show are expected to receive the thrill and excitement that is expected after the last three seasons.
