    Hold on which book? I thought it was a new story. I read the first 4 books of ASOIAF a long time ago but never got to A Dance with Dragons, is it in there?

      Fire and Blood

      It’s a prequel to Game of Thrones and details the rise of the Targaryen dynasty and some of the history of Westeros. Also, unlike GoT, it has a lot of fantastic illustrations too.

      It’s different from GoT in that it’s written as a history book, parts of which told through various maesters and parts told through a fool who served the Targaryens by the name of Mushroom.

      I LOVE it.

      Fire and Blood and is a separate companion piece to ASOIAF covering the history of the Targeryon family. It’s a complete book so provides good closure to the series.

      Rhaenyra is just a small portion of the story.
