Siglos antes de que tuvieran lugar los acontecimientos que se relatan en «Canción de hielo y fuego , la casa Targaryen, la única dinastía de señores dragón que sobrevivió a la Maldición de Valyria, se asentó en la isla de Rocadragón.

Aquí tenemos el primero de los dos volúmenes en el que el autor de Juego de tronos nos cuenta, con todo lujo de detalles, la historia de tan fascinante familia: empezando por Aegon I Targaryen, creador del icónico Trono de Hierro, y seguido por el resto de las generaciones de Targaryens que lucharon con fiereza por conservar el poder, y el trono, hasta la llegada de la guerra civil que casi acaba con ellos.

Qué pasó realmente durante la Danza de dragones? Por qué era tan peligroso acercarse a Valyria después de la Maldición? Cómo era Poniente cuando los dragones dominaban los cielos? Estas, y otras muchas, son las preguntas a las que responde esta monumental crónica, narrada por un culto maestre de la Ciudadela, que anticipa el ya conocido universo de George R.R. Martin.

Fuego y sangre brindará a los lectores la oportunidad de tener otra visión de la fascinante historia de Poniente. Esta obra, magníficamente ilustrada con 80 láminas inéditas de Doug Wheatley, se convertirá, sin duda, en una lectura imprescindible para todos los fans de la aclamada serie.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work, the inspiration for HBO's upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon

"The thrill of Fire & Blood is the thrill of all Martin's fantasy work: familiar myths debunked, the whole trope table flipped."--Entertainment Weekly

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--including five all-new illustrations exclusive to this edition. 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.

Praise for Fire & Blood

"A masterpiece of popular historical fiction." --The Sunday Times

"The saga is a rich and dark one, full of both the title's promised elements. . . . It's hard not to thrill to the descriptions of dragons engaging in airborne combat, or the dilemma of whether defeated rulers should 'bend the knee, ' 'take the black' and join the Night's Watch, or simply meet an inventive and horrible end."--The Guardian

Frances's newfound power attracts the attention of the leader of an ancient order who yearns for magical control of Manhattan. And who will stop at nothing to have Frances by his side.
