As war scenes glide across the screen, we hear the voice of Jon Snow (Kit Harington) sending a cool message of unity.

"For centuries, our families fought together against their common enemy, despite their differences — together," he says. "We need to do the same if we're going to survive, because the enemy is real. It's always been real."

After more battle imagery filled with fire, and a glimpse of the long-lost Beric Dondarrion, the trailer ends on a solemn note with Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) reiterating Snow’s message of unity.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies — but the pack survives,” she says.

Game of Thrones returns July 16 to HBO. You can watch the trailer and scroll through photos from the upcoming season below.
