From the masterly imagination behind A Game of Thrones - one of the
greatest fantasy epics of all time and an unmissable HBO hit series
- comes a definitive history of Westeros’s past as told by
Archmaester Gyldayn.
Unravelling events that led to A Song of Ice and Fire, Fire and
Blood is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the
Targaryens in Westeros. Revealing long-buried secrets and untold
lasting enmity, it sets the scene for the heart-stopping series
conclusion, The Winds of Winter.
300 years before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire, long before
the schism that set the houses of Westeros at each other’s throats,
one house ruled supreme and indomitable. House Targaryen, the house
of the last remaining dragonlords.
After surviving the Doom of Valyria the Targaryen’s established
themselves on Dragonstone. This volume traces their legendary
lineage from Aegon the Conqueror to the bloody Dance of Dragons; a
civil war that pitted Aegon II and his half-sister Rhaenyra in a
bitter conflict for the throne of their father, nearly wiping out
the Targaryen dynasty forever.
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.
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 guide to Westeros’s past. Featuring more than eighty
all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley this
is an essential volume for any Game of Thrones fan’s library. For
the first time the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.
