According to the books, it was Azor Ahai who fought and defeated the night king and his army some years ago and it is believed that he will come back and fight the white walkers. So, who is Azor Ahai? Jon Snow or Jon Targaryen shall I say? According to the theory, Ser Davos is Azor Ahai and it actually makes sense.
Ser Davos is one of the most pragmatic characters on Game of Thrones. He is concerned about the real threat right from the beginning which gives this theory an edge. One of the things we know for sure about the end of the series is that it will involve someone finally fulfilling the Azor Ahai prophecy and defeating the Night King or, alternatively, the White Walkers could win the war, but that seems unlikely.
Even though the obvious contenders to fulfill the prophecy are Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen , there's a pretty compelling fan theory out there that points to Jorah Mormont as the true Prince That Was Promised.
Need a refresher on the Azor Ahai prophecy? It's what Melisandre aka the Red Woman has been talking about since we met her way back in Season 2. The prophecy is part of the religion of the Lord of Light the religion Melisandre is a priestess in and refers to a legendary figure who defeated the "Great Other" untold years ago using a magical sword called Lightbringer.
Since the White Walkers are basically the second coming of the Great Other, that means the good guys are going to need the second coming of Azor Ahai to defeat them.
According to the prophecy, the Prince That Was Promised will be someone born "amidst salt and smoke" and they will pull Lightbringer from flames and use the legendary sword to fight the darkness. We know from the legend of Azor Ahai that Lightbringer was originally imbued with its power only after Azor ran it through the heart of his beloved, which has led many fans to speculate that the Prince or Princess That Was Promised will have to do the same and kill the love of their life as a sacrifice in order to gain the power to actually defeat the Night King.
Melisandre, our main link to the Lord of Light and the prophecy, is even currently on Team Jon Is Azor she used to believe it was Stanis Baratheon, but changed her tune when he was defeated and Jon Snow rose from the dead. With Jon perhaps?
Anyways back to Azor Ahai theorizing. In conclusion, if we get right down to the facts here having anyone else but Dany be Azor Ahai is kind of stupid because why on Earth would Martin have her wake dragons from stone, in such a perfect moment of symbolic rebirth, just to have Jon, or anyone else for that matter, be Azor Ahai.
Despite the obviousness of Dany as Azor Ahai I think she should be Azor Ahai, whether or not she actually is because of the beautiful symbolism. Dany did that. Come on GRRM.
The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.

November 24, June 8, jujurevu. The Theories Now we can get into the theorizing. So Lightbringer is a powerful weapon that was created via the sacrifice of Azor Ahai's greatest love. And for a time, Melisandre claimed Stannis was wielding a fiery sword called Lightbringer. In the books, Daenerys' vision in the House of the Undying includes a scene of her brother Rhaegar and his wife, Elia Martell.
She sees him holding a baby, presumably his second son, Aegon, and telling Elia: "He is the Prince That Was Promised, and his is the song of ice and fire. There are additional clues in the books that indicated Rhaegar had a slight obsession with this idea of prophecy and was trying to bring about the hero of the world through his bloodline.
Aemon Targaryen the former maester at Castle Black also spoke of the prophecy with Sam Tarly and mentions a bleeding star and smoke and salt — just like Azor Ahai.
Also in the books, Barristan Selmy speaks about a "woods witch," a book character known to be reliable when it comes to predicting events, who said TPTWP would be born from the bloodline of Rhaella and King Aerys Targaryen, the "Mad King" and father to Daenerys and Rhaegar. To see all the evidence laid out for both Daenerys and Jon being Azor Ahai, read our deep-dive explainer on the two prophecies.

So when "Game of Thrones" pushed forward through eight seasons and never brought up the name Azor Ahai, people assumed this was simply the showrunners David Benioff and D. Weiss' way of simplifying the prophecy for show-only fans.
On the sixth season, Melisandre resurrected Jon Snow and told him he was the "Prince That Was Promised," reborn with the power of R'hllor for a reason. Then the High Priestess of R'hllor, Kinvara, was introduced and told Tyrion and Varys that Daenerys was the chosen hero meant to fight the coming darkness. This might have been our first warning that "Game of Thrones" would use the Nissa Nissa sacrifice in a surprising way by not having Daenerys' death connected to the fight against the White Walkers.
Benioff and Weiss also made sure to bring back Melisandre for the seventh season and have her speak with Daenerys about how the interpretation of the prophecy was fickle. Daenerys was not killed for Jon to forge a new weapon, nor was her death a willing sacrifice in the way Nissa Nissa's was.
