Fire & Blood (A Targaryen History, #1) by George R.R. Martin

Product Details

About the Book

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 & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and continues through the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic and infamous throne, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore the dynasty apart: the devastating Dance of the Dragons, a war between rival factions within House Targaryen itself for the Iron Throne.

Presented in the form of a scholarly, in-world history — complete with rival, occasionally contradictory accounts from the maesters and chroniclers of Westeros — the book covers the fully realized world of dragons, kings, queens, knights, and the terrible and magnificent Targaryens, giving readers the vivid, turbulent, often violent history behind the events chronicled in A Song of Ice and Fire. Illustrated throughout by artist Doug Wheatley, Fire & Blood is the first of two volumes exploring House Targaryen's complete history, offering the historical foundation that underpins Martin's entire fantasy saga.

Critical Acclaim

Fire & Blood became a #1 New York Times bestseller. The book has been widely praised for its immersive, richly detailed worldbuilding and its unique presentation as an in-universe historical text rather than a traditional narrative novel, appealing strongly to devoted fans of Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series eager for deeper lore. It served as the direct source material for the acclaimed HBO prequel series House of the Dragon, which dramatizes the Dance of the Dragons civil war chronicled within its pages.
