Synopsis
Fire & Blood is a fantasy history book by George R. R. Martin chronicling House Targaryen, the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria, from Aegon the Conqueror's founding of the Iron Throne through generations of Targaryen rule up to the civil war that nearly tore the dynasty apart. It is presented from the in-world perspective of Archmaester Gyldayn and set centuries before A Game of Thrones.
Where it sits
- Universe: A Song of Ice and Fire

Notes
