An edited-down version of "The Sons of the Dragon" was released in October 2017 titled " The Sons of the Dragon" in the anthology The Book of Swords. [13] McNutt, Myles (May 9, 2022). "This summer, be free of the need to read Fire & Blood". Polygon . Retrieved September 22, 2022. 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. Be custom bound, likely in leather and cloth, by far the most lavish GRRM production we've ever published;

The Dying of the Dragons": Being about 60,000 words in length, [16] [N 1] it focuses on the great civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother Aegon II for the throne. An abridged version of 30,000 words was included in The Princess and the Queen, [18] which was published in the anthology Dangerous Women in 2013. The book purports to tell the history of the early Targaryen kings, from Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters to Aegon III, in 23 chapters that narrate the first part of their history as follows: In 2014, more than 200,000 words were removed from the manuscript of Martin's companion book The World of Ice & Fire and were incorporated into Fire & Blood. [4] Many of the heroes whose songs are sung in this book will be familiar to attentive fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, as they are referenced there many a times. Those are the people whom our beloved characters aspire to be, to whom they look up to, even 300 years later.And all that I will say about Jaehaerys here is that he really was that bitch: when his court and own mother forbid him to wed his sister (for fear that the Faith would rise in rebellion against them, as they had in Aenys's time), Jaehaerys and Alysanne flew their dragons to Dragonstone to be secretly wed there, heeding neither counsel nor warning; J wanted A to rule beside him (“Aegon had no secrets from Rhaenys and Visenya, and I have none from Alysanne”), and many of the more progressive laws (especially in regards to the protection of women) sprung from her ideas. I love both of them more than life itself. A Son for a Son · Episode 2 · Episode 3 · A Dance of Dragons · Episode 5 · Episode 6 · Episode 7 · Episode 8

In February 2017, Elio M. García Jr., Martin's co-author for The World of Ice & Fire, reported that he had spoken with Martin at WorldCon 75, held in 2017 in Helsinki, about the first volume of Fire & Blood. According to García, in addition to the never-published material developed for The World of Ice & Fire, Martin also created entirely new material for the book, having "worked on just fleshing out a bit" the long reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, which was previously only mentioned in "Heirs of the Dragon", an unpublished text that Martin abridged in the novelette The Rogue Prince. [5]Ballantine Bantam Dell will publish FIRE AND BLOOD, a new book by George R. R. Martin, in the US and Canada on November 20, 2018, under his longtime US imprint Bantam Books. Voyager, an imprint of HarperCollins, Martin’s longtime publisher in the UK, will publish FIRE AND BLOOD in the UK and Commonwealth (excluding Canada) also on November 20, 2018.

House of the Dragon is based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 book Fire and Blood, which is a prequel to the Song of Ice and Fire book series. The author recently revealed his intent to publish a second and final volume to complete the storyline. How many books did George R.R. Martin write in the Song of Ice and Fire universe?
