Fire And Blood Collector's Edition

Beskrivelse

Discover the epic saga that inspired HBO's House of the Dragon, tracing the fiery and brutal reign of the Targaryens long before the events of Game of Thrones. This volume dives deep into the history of Westeros, where dragons ruled and kingdoms burned.

The definitive chronicle of the Targaryen dynasty, from Aegon the Conqueror to the devastating civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

Set centuries before the story of Game of Thrones, this first volume of the two-part history explores the rise and rule of House Targaryen, the last dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria. From their stronghold on Dragonstone, the Targaryens began their fiery conquest, with Aegon the Conqueror forging the Iron Throne and uniting the Seven Kingdoms.

This gripping account reveals the generations of Targaryens who fiercely battled to maintain their grip on power, culminating in the brutal civil war that nearly destroyed their dynasty. It answers key questions such as:

• What truly happened during the Dance of the Dragons?
• Why did Valyria become so deadly after the Doom?
• Where did Daenerys's three dragon eggs originate?

Presented as a detailed history narrated by a learned maester of the Citadel, the book includes striking black-and-white illustrations by Doug Wheatley. While glimpses of this tale have appeared in previous works like The World of Ice & Fire, this edition offers the full, sweeping story of the Targaryens' fiery legacy.

With the grandeur and depth reminiscent of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood invites readers into a captivating and brutal chapter of Westerosi history that will deepen their appreciation of this legendary world.
