Descripción
The fascinating history of the Targaryens, the dynasty that reigned in Westeros three hundred years before the start of A Song of Ice and Fire, narrated by Archmaester Gyldayn, of the Citadel of Oldtown. Centuries before the events recounted in "A Song of Ice and Fire" took place, House Targaryen, the only dynasty of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria, settled on the island of Dragonstone. Here we have the first of two volumes in which the author of Game of Thrones tells us, with great detail, the history of such a fascinating family: beginning with Aegon I Targaryen, creator of the iconic Iron Throne, and followed by the rest of the generations of Targaryens who fiercely fought to maintain power, and the throne, until the arrival of the civil war that almost ended them. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so dangerous to approach Valyria after the Doom? What was Westeros like when dragons dominated the skies? These, and many others, are the questions answered by this monumental chronicle, narrated by an educated maester from the Citadel, which anticipates the already known universe of George R.R. Martin. Fire & Blood will give readers the opportunity to have another view of the fascinating history of Westeros. This work, magnificently illustrated with 80 unpublished plates by Doug Wheatley, will undoubtedly become an essential read for all fans of the acclaimed series.
