The never-before-seen history of Westeros and the lands beyond.
With hundreds of pages of all-new material from George R.R. Martin.
If the past is prologue, then George R.R. Martin's masterwork-the
most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time-warrants
one hell of an introduction. At long last, it has arrived with THE
WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE. George R.R. Martin, in collaboration with
Elio M. Garcia, Jr. and Linda Antonsson, has written a
comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, featuring the epic
battles, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that lead up to
the events in the bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Collected within this volume is the accumulated knowledge,
scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and
septons, maegi and singers, including over 170 full-colour
illustrations and maps, family trees for the Houses Stark,
Lannister and Targaryen, and in-depth explanations of the history
and culture of Westeros. This is the definitive companion volume to
George R.R. Martin's dazzlingly conceived universe; THE WORLD OF
ICE AND FIRE is indeed proof that the pen is mightier than a storm
of swords.
This lavish visual history-featuring over 150 new, full-colour
illustrations-is a stunning introduction to House Targaryen, the
iconic family at the heart of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series,
House of the Dragon. For hundreds of years, the Targaryens sat the
Iron Throne of Westeros while their dragons ruled the skies. The
story of the only family of dragonlords to survive Valyria's Doom
is a tale of twisty politics, alliances and betrayals, and acts
both noble and craven. The Rise of the Dragon chronicles the
creation and rise of Targaryen power in Westeros, covering the
history first told in George R. R. Martin's epic Fire & Blood,
from Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros through to the infamous
Dance of the Dragons-the bloody civil war that nearly undid
Targaryen rule for good. Packed with all-new artwork, the
Targaryens-and their dragons-come vividly to life in this deluxe
reference book. Perfect for fans steeped in the lore of Westeros,
as well as those who first meet the Targaryens in the HBO series
House of the Dragon, The Rise of the Dragon provides a must-have
overview for anyone looking to learn more about the most powerful
family in Westeros.
