Summary/Abstract: At first glance, George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones is not supernatural. Suddenly, surprising and unpredictable events occur which also take the readers / spectators by surprise: the dragon eggs hatch, the Gods seem to act, the dead revive and they attack the living. I propose to note that events of fantastic appearance erupt in the reality of the series to reveal strangeness, as well as to discover a wonderful universe at the origin of History. Jon Snow believes that he defends the Wall, but he must first fight the undead, kill his paternal substitute, make friends with different forms of life (giants), die and resurrect, discovering the existence of the White Walkers and their universe: A Song of Ice and Fire.
