House of the Dragon Origins
by luckypenguin cxvbvn 2 weeks, 1 day agoI’ve been watching House of the Dragon and I’m curious—what book or books is the show based on? I know it’s part of the Game of Thrones universe, but I want to dive deeper into the history. Anyone know where I should start reading to get a better understanding of the story's origins?
If you're a fan of House of the Dragon and want to know which book it’s based on, look no further than Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin. This book covers the history of House Targaryen, which is the backbone of House of the Dragon. It spans generations of Targaryen rulers, from the first dragonlords to the major conflicts like the Dance of the Dragons. The book is rich with details about the Targaryen family, their dragons, and the various wars and betrayals that shaped Westeros. If you’re into medieval fantasy and epic family sagas, Fire & Blood is definitely worth checking out.

Wow, thank you for sharing that! I’ve been a huge Game of Thrones fan, and I always wondered about the book behind House of the Dragon. I was actually looking for a blog that would explain the connection, and this one on BooksRun is exactly what I needed! I’m going to check it out now and start reading Fire & Blood. It’s so exciting to have found a new source for all the Targaryen lore I’ve been craving!
