House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon is a high-profile television series from HBO, set in the world of Westeros nearly two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. Based on George R. R. Martin’s Fire and Blood, the show chronicles the decline of House Targaryen, focusing on the brutal civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. It explores political intrigue, dynastic rivalry, and the deadly consequences of ambition within one of Westeros’s most powerful families. With detailed world-building and a focus on character complexity, the series aims to expand the mythology without relying on past nostalgia.
