Fire & Blood Second Edition

THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED HBO'S TV SUPERPRODUCTION HOUSE OF THE DRAGON – NEW EDITION WITH TV SERIES COVER! 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones, dragons reigned in Westeros... Three centuries before the events of Game of Thrones, the Targaryens - the only family of dragon lords to survive the Fall of Valyria - settled in Dragonstone. The narrative of the Fire & Blood chronicle begins with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and continues with the generations of Targaryens who competed for possession of this iconic seat of power until the civil war that nearly wiped out their dynasty. What was Westeros like when dragons ruled the skies? What were Major the Merciless's worst crimes? What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it mortal danger to visit Valyria after Bane? These are just some of the questions answered in this edition, as presented by a learned master of the Acropolis. This book is the first of two volumes of the definitive history of House Targaryen, interspersed with over eighty black-and-white illustrations by master illustrator Doug Wheatley. George RR Martin, the acclaimed author of Game of Thrones, gives readers a new perspective on the shocking and bloody history of Westeros through an epic, fictional account of the defining history of House Targaryen.
