Drakarnas tid

300 år före Game of Thrones landsteg Aegon I i Västeros. Med sina systrar vid sin sida besegrade han de sju konungarikena och inledde drakarnas styre. Genom storslagna strider och politiska maktspel försvarade huset Targaryen sin tron och styrde världen med järnhand.   Det här är deras berättelse.   

I Eld & Blod (Del II) skildrar den bästsäljande författaren George R.R. Martin den mest fängslande dynastin i Västeros: draklorderna Targaryen. Som kända från succéserien Game of Thrones berättas nu deras historia, från erövrandet av de sju konungarikena till upptakten till det ödesdigra Drakarnas dans.

I Eld & Blod Historien om huset Targaryen (Del I) skildrar den bästsäljande författaren George R.R. Martin den mest fängslande dynastin i Västeros: draklorderna Targaryen. Som kända från succéserien Game of Thrones berättas nu deras historia, från erövrandet av de sju konungarikena till upptakten till det ödesdigra Drakarnas dans. Vackert illustrerad av Doug Wheatley.

I ett delat Västeros ställs Aegon II och hans syster Rhaenyra mot varandra i en kamp om järntronen. Det blodiga inbördeskriget kommer att bli känt som Drakarnas dans, och ställer drakar mot drakar i en maktstrid som förändrar världen för all framtid.

På öppna slagfält och i palatsets skuggor lades vägen som ledde fram till Game of Thrones. Med svärd och svek försvarade Targaryen sin plats på tronen.

Men till vilket pris?

I andra delen av Eld & blod fortsätter historien om huset Targaryen, känd från HBO:s succéserie Game of Thrones. Med sin fantastiska detaljrikedom levandegör George R.R. Martin den mest mytomspunna släkten i Västeros, tillsammans med vackra illustrationer av Doug Wheatley.

Set 300 years before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire, FIRE AND BLOOD is the definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros as told by Archmaester Gyldayn, and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through to the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil war that nearly ended their dynasty forever.

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen-the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria-took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.
