About ‘House of The Dragon’
“House of The Dragon” is the newest series to spring from the mind of author George R.R. Martin. Set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” the show follows the Targaryen dynasty through one of its darkest chapters: a bloody civil war, styled “The Dance of Dragons” by future Westerosi historians.
As King Viserys I grows old and sick, the Seven Kingdoms prepare to welcome his successor Rhaenyra to the Iron Throne. But the king’s brother also desires the throne, and has no intention of bending the knee without a fight. The battle that follows engulfs the continent, forcing the lords of Westeros to choose sides. They must choose carefully, because the loser and their allies are likely to meet their end in fire and blood.
House of the Dragon
The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.
