George R.R. Martin’s art book ‘The Rise of The Dragon’ is finally here

Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon season 1 has come to a shocking end, and it might still be a while before the second season is finally here. So while we wait to see what happens next in the Targaryen saga, George R. R. Martin is dropping bombs regarding his work, whether it is about Winds of Winter or other Game of Thrones spinoff shows. His most recent announcement revolves around House of The Dragon, and it is as beautiful as anyone can imagine.

Martin recently introduced The Rise of The Dragon: An Illustration History of the Targaryen Dynasty The Rise of The Dragon, visual history of House Targaryen that consists of 180 amazing new illustrations based on the book Fire and Blood. A collaboration with Westeros.org owners Elio M. García Jr. and Linda Antonsson, The Rise of The Dragon is an art book depicting the rise and fall of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros.

The official synopsis of the book reads:

“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.”

The book has been officially released on October 25 and is now available to buy on various shopping websites including Amazon.
