    With the success of the novels came a widely loved television series. While you might be a loyal fan of the books, the show, or both — do you know all about the history of the leading families? This book aims to thoroughly detail the early history of the houses Targaryen, Stark, and Lannister, including how they first rose to power, and what happened in the years leading up to the beginning of The Game of Thrones story.

You will follow the story of the dragons, and find out how they came to be killed off, leaving the Targaryens vying for power with the other houses.
