New 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Trailer Hints At Westeros' Biggest Battle

The living have just one thing to fear.

On the first day of summer, “Game of Thrones” is here to give you chills.

With less than a month until the Season 7 premiere, HBO has dropped a second trailer for the beloved series.

Set to the ethereal “Light of the Seven” tune that accompanied Cersei’s (Lena Headey) path of destruction in Season 6′s violent finale, the trailer reminds us of the only thing Westeros has ever truly had to fear: the White Walkers and their army of the dead.

In a voiceover, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) delivers that timely lecture: “For centuries, our families fought together against their common enemy, despite their differences ― together. We need to do the same if we’re going to survive, because the enemy is real. It’s always been real.”

Things are about to get very real, indeed: We see Dany (Emilia Clarke) arriving in Westeros, Jon fighting in the North, Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) using his sight, Sansa (Sophie Turner) looking pretty cold and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) going to town with a lance. Oh, and fire. A lot of fire.

In the end, Sansa offers a tormentingly vague hint about the legacy of the Stark clan: “When the snows fall, and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.”

Fingers/paws/tails crossed for you, Sansa.

“Game of Thrones” returns July 16 to HBO.
