'Game of Thrones' season 5 spoilers: trailer released; will the dragons run amok soon?

Less than a month away from the much-awaited premiere of what the Internet calls as the best season of "Game of Thrones" yet, HBO released a new preview video — one that suggests that more trouble is afoot. As always, the trailer does not reveal concrete details about what's to happen in Westeros and beyond, but it does make fans feel that it may just be the season with the most action and kick. 

Another it proves is that "Game of Thrones" is in the precipice of bringing Tyrion to Meereen, then eventually to Dany, and culminating to the massive machinations in King's Landing. Season 5 also seals the major participation of the silver-blonde-haired mother of dragons. In a scene in the trailer, Daenerys checks on her pals, who greets her so heatedly. After all, she does not deserve a warm welcome from her feisty friends that she caged and locked up. 

The trailer, however, also shows Emily Clarke as Dany but without the character's unique hair color. She is standing in the middle of a throng of Meereenese slaves who look like they are reaching out to her. What this means though remains to be a mystery. 

"Game of Thrones" is based on George R.R. Martin's book series titled "A Song of Ice and Fire." The upcoming season was drawn from the fifth and the latest book in the lineup. 

Martin is working on the sixth one titled "Winds of Winter," which still has no release date. In line with the long absence of a new novel, HBO is running out of material. This means that the network will have to write the characters' fate for the sake of the series to continue its tale. The bestselling author warned and advised readers to prime themselves as deaths that did not happen in the book will take place on the small screen. 

Fans will get to see how everything goes when season 5 of "Game of Thrones" premieres on April 12.
