Publisher Description
THE INSPIRATION FOR HBO AND SKY TV’S EMMY NOMINATED HOUSE OF THE DRAGON.
Centuries before A Game of Thrones, an even greater game began, one that set the skies alight with dragon flame and saw the Seven Kingdoms turned to ash.
So began the Targaryens’ bloody rule, with fire and blood. Setting brother against brother, mother against daughter, and dragon against dragon.
Chronicled by a learned maester of the Citadel, this thrilling and bloody history of Westeros tells the story of where the battle for the Iron Throne began…

Customer Reviews
A brilliantly written recount of Targaryen history!
After watching the first season of House of the Dragon, I wasn’t willing to wait a couple years to find out what happens next, so I picked up the book and never regretted a single page! The way this book was written is such a breath of fresh air for A Song of Ice and Fire, and I really enjoyed all the scenes and characters that were painted in this book. Would absolutely recommend to any ASOIAF fan as a must-read!
Great.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book and learning about the Dragon lineage. It takes you through every reign, all of the kings I had heard about on Game of Thrones series and I have much better understanding of the characters. Loved it!
Don’t buy.
A waste of time and money
This really is a con and seems to be simply a means of lining the publishers and author’s pockets.
