Arya Stark brandishes her sword in shadowy and crypitic new Game Of Thrones teaser.




She has grown up over four very dramatic Game Of Thrones seasons, going from an outspoken tomboy to a hardened outlaw in the captivity of Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane.

And at the end of last season Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) dramatically took back her freedom; leaving The Hound for dead on the roadside and using Jaqen H'ghar's mystical coin to board ship to Braavos.

Now, Arya's fate is explored in a ten second teaser trailer for the fifth season of the hit HBO show, posted on the show's Twitter page and its new Three Eyed Raven website. 

'The raven brings #TheSight,' the post reads, before encouraging fans to sign up to receive updates via the website. 

The three eyed raven refers to the mysterious vision experienced by Arya's brother Brandon who finally came face to face with the raven's human form at the end of last season.

The trailer begins with a close up of Arya's face with the Red Priestess Melisandre's voice declaring: 'I see a darkness in you.'

Several images flash past showing the orphan daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark running through a forest, seemingly attacking a man lying on the ground and holding her sword 'Needle' to an unnamed assailant.

No new characters are seen in the clip, although Thrones is introducing several new faces to its sprawling cast. 

Alexander Siddig plays Prince Oberyn’s brother Doran and then there are three of Oberyn’s vengeful daughters - collectively known as the Sand Snakes and played by Keisha Castle-Hughes, Jessica 
Henwick, and Rosabell Laurenti Sellers. 


Jaimie Lannister has the unenviable task of being sent on a mission to Dorne following the shocking defeat and death of Prince Oberyn Martell by Ser Gregor Clegane during a trial by combat at King's Landing. Toby Sebastian also appears as Trystane Martel.

Meanwhile, Tyrion Lannister (Dinklage) has fled after murdering his father Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) while Night's Watchman Jon Snow (Kit Harington) will have to pick up the pieces following the epic battle at The Wall.

Emilia Clarke's character Daenerys Targaryen continues to carve out her own regal empire from across the sea.

The fifth season of Game Of Thrones will air next spring.
