Fire and Blood

Book • 2018
Fire & Blood is a detailed historical account of the Targaryen dynasty in the world of Westeros.

Written in the style of a historical text, it covers the conquest of Westeros by Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters, the reigns of subsequent Targaryen kings, including the long and complex reign of King Jaehaerys I, and the tumultuous events such as the Dance of the Dragons.

The book is illustrated with over seventy-five black-and-white illustrations by Doug Wheatley and includes family trees and other historical details.

It is the first volume of a planned two-part history, with the second volume still in the works.
