With the release of George R.R. Martin's final two books in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" saga still uncertain, fans of HBO's "Game of Thrones" are grasping at straws and drawing their own theories based on recent events in the battle for the Iron Throne.

Set photos have already leaked online showing actors like Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth), and Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) meeting on the shores of the Dragonstone set.

Joe Dempsie — who plays Robert Baratheon's bastard son Gendry — was also spotted on set after several seasons of absence from the series. Actor Ian Glen (Ser Jorah Mormont) was also spotted after he was last ordered by Dany to find a cure for his Greyscale, which led fans to hope that he was successful in his search and that he has returned to serve the Mother of Dragon and fight alongside her allies.

However, one Reddit user who claims to know how the entire season will go down posted a detailed account of what will happen in season 7 — the penultimate season of the HBO series — after the events of the last book "A Dream of Spring" was broken down into two seasons.

In the post, the Reddit user AwayfortheLeads gave a blow by blow account of what will happen within the season, including what will become of the Stark siblings, the deal with Dany and Jon Snow, the battle between the Iron Bornes, as well as the outcome of battles that have been brewing for some seasons already.

The post claimed that after many seasons apart, Arya (Maisie Williams) and Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) will finally find their way back to Winterfell, where Sansa (Sophie Turner) is left in charge while Jon deals with Daenerys and the imminent problem of the White Walkers. It also details what will happen to Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), as well as Olenna (Diana Rigg) of High Garden, who confesses to poisoning Joffrey. 

Apparently, these leaks did not sit well with some of the cast members. Actress Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) spoke up on her social media about the leak.

"It's really disappointing there are people who are determined to ruin Season 7 for everyone," she tweeted.
