The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon
“The thrill of Fire & Blood is the thrill of all Martin’s fantasy work: familiar myths debunked, the whole trope table flipped.”—Entertainment Weekly
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 & 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. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.
With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.
Praise for Fire & Blood
“A masterpiece of popular historical fiction.” —The Sunday Times
“The saga is a rich and dark one, full of both the title’s promised elements. . . . It’s hard not to thrill to the descriptions of dragons engaging in airborne combat, or the dilemma of whether defeated rulers should ‘bend the knee,’ ‘take the black’ and join the Night’s Watch, or simply meet an inventive and horrible end.” —The Guardian

If you haven't read ASOIAF yet: Don' read this book. It's not well suited for everyone. It is a historical book so there isn't as much action as in ASOIAF, but if you're a Westeros fan as I am: Read it.
Für Serien- und Bücherfans ein Muss

Wenn man eigentlich lieber die Fortsetzung der Game-of-Thrones-Bücher hätte, ist dieses Buch eine Enttäuschung. Quasi kein Dialog, geringer Einblick in die Charaktere und eine Geschichte, die mit halsbrecherischer Geschwindigkeit vorangetrieben wird.
Wenn man aber ein großer Fan der Welt von Game of Thrones ist und gerne mehr über all die Ereignisse wüsste, die in der Original-Reihe oft nur angeteasert werden, ist das hier das Buch. Die Geschichte von Haus Targaryen ist wohl das spannendste Geschichtsbuch, dass ich je freiwillig gelesen habe. Wie kann ein Mann sich nur so eine komplexe Welt ausdenken?
Sehr große Empfehlung auch für alle Fans der Serien Game of Thrones oder House of the Dragon. Man muss kein anderes Buch gelesen haben, um das hier zu verstehen. Und gerade die Leute, die wie ich einfach nicht die nächste Staffel HotD abwarten können, können hier schon mal eine eine gute Vorstellung von dem bekommen, was noch kommt.
