House of the Dragon

Series Overview

Based on George R.R. Martin's "Fire & Blood", House of the Dragon is set two centuries before the events of "Game of Thrones". The series chronicles the height of House Targaryen, detailing the tumultuous reign of King Viserys I and the bitter succession crisis known as the Dance of the Dragons. When the King names his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra, as his heir, it shatters centuries of precedent and sets the realm on a collision course of betrayal, ambition, and total war. The ensuing conflict divides the Targaryen family and the entire realm into two opposing factions: the "Blacks", supporting Rhaenyra's claim, and the "Greens", backing her childhood friend-turned-stepmother Queen Alicent Hightower and her eldest son, Aegon II. As alliances are forged and broken, dragon against dragon, the devastating civil war threatens to burn Westeros to the ground, forever altering the destiny of the Seven Kingdoms.
