The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work, the inspiration for HBO’s House of the Dragon. Taking place 300 years before Game of Thrones, it is told through the lens of a maester’s writings, it spans generations, covering their rise to power, battles, and the internal conflicts that shaped their legacy. It’s rich with lore, dragons, and drama, delivering the backstory of the Targaryen dynasty in a way that feels both mystic and grounded in the gritty realism of the stories.
