Fire and Blood

This fictional history recounts the rise of House Targaryen in Westeros, presented as a chronicle compiled by an archmaester from older records, songs, and disputed testimony. It covers Aegon's Conquest, the forging of the Iron Throne, later kings and queens, and the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Dragons, succession, and the costs of ruling a fractured continent are the recurring matter. Court factions, maesters, and smallfolk appear as sources that do not agree. The book is a pretended historical narrative rather than a novel from one character's point of view, and it stops before later Targaryen generations.
