The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in
this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire,
the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones.
With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from
internationally bestselling author George R. R. Martin,
this is the first volume of the definitive two-part
history of the Targaryens in Westeros.
Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones,
House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive
the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone.
Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary
Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on
to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold
that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that
nearly tore their dynasty apart.
What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why
did it become so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom?
What is the origin of Daenerys's three dragon eggs? These
are but a few of the questions answered in this essential
chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel
and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white
illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed
small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The
World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time,
the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.
With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History
of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,Fire and
Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a
whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and
always fascinating history of Westeros.
