The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Synopsis:

Spoiler

With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R. R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros.

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 and 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 did it become so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What is the origin of Daenerys’s three dragon eggs? 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 and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

 

The book sounds very interesting and cant wait to read it.

I don't understand this. Was the story concluded already? Why is he writing a sequel instead of wrapping it Up?

There's a lot that's only just lightly hinted in the books about the Targaryen history and the conquering of Westeros so this will be obviously treated as an original piece to the books.

God knows when A Dream of Spring will come to fruition

Not to sound mean, but at this rate, he will be dead by the time ADoS is started/ half way.

 

Plus he literally writes 45 books at the same time. so who knows.

I have had this thought as well  Just hoping for a miracle , that he is taking so much time because he is going to release both the books at once , before the premiere of season 7 , that way the sales might skyrocket and he gets to spoil the series  as well.
