About this listen

THE INSPIRATION FOR HBO AND SKY TV’S EMMY NOMINATED HOUSE OF THE DRAGON.

Centuries before A Game of Thrones, an even greater game began, one that set the skies alight with dragon flame and saw the Seven Kingdoms turned to ash.

So began the Targaryens’ bloody rule, with fire and blood. Setting brother against brother, mother against daughter, and dragon against dragon.

Chronicled by a learned maester of the Citadel, this thrilling and bloody history of Westeros tells the story of where the battle for the Iron Throne began…

This audio edition now includes an exclusive interview between George R.R. Martin and historian Dan Jones.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

I haven't finished the book yet, but from what I have seen in the show and read in the book, the story is amazing and both the author and narrator tell the story in an enchanting way. definitely recommend this audio book to any fan of George R. R. Martin's many books or any fantasy book be it.

From Start to Finish ...

I was captured and drawn in by the narrator's suitably regal voice, the story of the rise and fall of the Targaryens and the dragons who were amazingly beautiful. Highly recommended.

Like true history.

Loved listening to this book. Almost felt like I was reading true history. Well isn't most history a collection of stories. Beautifully read. Amazing imagery.

incredible narration

The narrator speaks very clearly and purposefully. what an engaging, in universe historical telling of the rise and fall of the (arguably) greatest dynasty in all of the seven kingdoms. here's hoping George finishes the winds of winter soon!

Well worth the read

Excellent retelling of the Targaryens early history

Love the historical angle through Gyldane brining I. Septons, other Maesters and Mushroon the fool.
