Set 300 years before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire, FIRE AND BLOOD is the definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros as told by Archmaester Gyldayn, and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through to the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil war that nearly ended their dynasty forever. The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones. With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R.R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros. Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen - the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria - took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel, and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

Detailliert und spannend zu lesen, was sich hinter dem Haus Targaryen verbirgt. Zum Punkt Detailliert muss man sich einiges merken damit man nach ein paar Seiten den Faden nicht verliert aber eben das macht dieses Buch auch aus. Gibt gleichzeitig einen ganz anderen Blickwinkel auf die beiden Serien.

I absolutely LOVED this book! And yes, I also loved that it was written in the style of a history book—even though I didn’t know that going in. At first, the beginning was a bit tricky to get into, but I quickly found my rhythm and soon I was flying through the pages.
The way the story is told makes the world feel vast, rich, and incredibly alive. Every chapter is packed with detail, intrigue, and unforgettable moments that pull you deeper into the history of the Targaryens. It’s the kind of book that leaves you in awe, wanting to savor every page while simultaneously racing to see what happens next. Truly a must-read for anyone who loves epic tales and masterful storytelling.
