A popular theory is that Shireen Baratheon is going to be sacrificed by Melisandre to save the life of Jon Snow, and that Jon Snow is Azor Ahai. This theory is very plausible because many people believe that the series is named after Jon (Ice) and Daenarys (Fire) this means that he is an important character for the rest of the series. If this is true then Shireen would be a likely candidate for a sacrifice as she has King’s blood. If Shireen is sacrificed Jon could be reborn as Azor Ahai. When Melisandre asks for a vision of Azor Ahai all that she sees is snow ‘I pray for a glimpse of Azor Ahai, and R'hllor shows me only Snow.’ This could mean Jon Snow. The prophecy states that Azor Ahai shall be reborn amidst salt and smoke beneath a bleeding star. The theory states that Jon will die from the wounds he receives from his NW brothers, but he wargs into ghost just before he dies. Melisandre can then use Shireen as a blood sacrifice to bring Jon back to life, (much like Lord Beric Dondarrion) as she has king’s blood. Jon will then be ‘reborn’ when he wargs back into his own body, amidst salt (from the tears being shed by Bowen Marsh), smoke (Jon’s wound was said to be smoking) and beneath a bleeding star (Ser Patrek of the King’s Mountain having just being killed by Wun Wun the giant, whose cloak shows a ‘spatter of 5 pointed stars’ which is covered in the Knight’s own blood). These are 3 signs that Jon will be Azor Ahai. The other signs are that if R+L=J is true, then Jon is born from the line of Aerys Targaryen and his wife Rhaella Targaryen which was prophesised to lead to the Prince that was Promised by a woods witch, who is likely to be the Ghost of High Heart who we already know to have a deep knowledge of future events such as the RW. It is also argued that the NW is Jon’s Lightbringer, and that Ygritte was his Nissa Nissa.
