In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the meaning of the eponymous term "song of ice and fire" is unclear. Like in the TV-continuity, the song of ice and fire is said to belong to the prince that was promised. Prior to the release of House of the Dragon, George R.R. Martin hinted in interviews that Aegon foresaw the return of the white walkers and then conquered the Seven Kingdoms, but he did not specifically link it to the song of ice and fire.

When Daenerys is in the House of the Undying, she has a vision of Rhaegar Targaryen and his wife Elia Martell, who is nursing their son Aegon. She hears Rhaegar say "He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire" (almost the same words inscribed on the dagger in the show). He then looks directly into Daenerys's eyes and says "There must be one more. The dragon has three heads" (A Clash of Kings, Daenerys IV); this part of Rhaegar's enigmatic words has not been included in the references to the prophecy in the show. 041b061a72
