Discover the dark and fascinating history of House Targaryen in the realm of Westeros!

Fire and Blood offers a unique look at the events that preceded the legendary saga A Game of Thrones. If you are captivated by dragons, intrigue and power struggles, this book by George R.R. Martin is essential reading.

This extensive historical record takes you more than 300 years into the past of a world where House Targaryen made its home on Dragonstone and gradually united the Seven Kingdoms. The chronicler Archmaester Gyldayn details the most important events in the dynasty's history - from the conquest of the Iron Throne by the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, through brutal reigns, to the bloody civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, which nearly meant the end of the house.

The book is enriched with more than eighty new black-and-white illustrations by Doug Wheatley, which bring the vivid world of fire and passion to life. Thanks to George R.R. Martin's masterful style, you will not only enjoy a gripping narrative but also gain a deeper understanding of the complex world of Westeros and its history.
