ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Fire & Blood” by George R. R. Martin is a historical epic that chronicles the rise and fall of House Targaryen, the dragonlords of Westeros. Beginning with the family's origins in Valyria and Aegon the Conqueror’s unification of the Seven Kingdoms, the book explores the dynasty’s internal struggles, including civil wars, power struggles, and deadly succession disputes. Themes of ambition, loyalty, and the cost of power dominate the story, along with the symbolism of dragons as both tools of war and symbols of royal identity. It offers a detailed, intricate look at the complexities of Targaryen rule and legacy.
