HBO's cold winds are rising which can only mean one thing: Game of Thrones Season 2 is coming.

As the series' April 1 premiere draws near, HBO has just released the most explicit trailer to date. Narrated by scheming man baby, Varys (Conleth Hill), the minute-long clip exposes many of the conflicts set to boil over in the upcoming season.

Titled "Shadows," the new preview expands on the previous Season 2 trailer. King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) is shown continuing his jack-assery by threatening to kill Sansa (Sohphie Turner); a clothed and dragon-less Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) demands her claim to the throne; and Tyrion (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage) puts his large head in for crowning, explaining that he knows how "the game is played."

And, lest we forget Season 1's epic finale, young Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) reminds us, "Anyone can be killed."
