Set centuries before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire, this work offers a comprehensive history of the Targaryens in Westeros, narrated by Archmaester Gyldayn. It chronicles the conquest that unified the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule and explores the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, which nearly led to the dynasty's downfall. The narrative begins with Aegon the Conqueror, the architect of the Iron Throne, and follows the generations of Targaryens striving to maintain their power, culminating in the civil war that threatened their reign. Key questions are addressed, such as the true events of the Dance of the Dragons, the dangers of visiting Valyria post-Doom, and the notorious actions of Maegor the Cruel. The story vividly depicts a time when dragons soared over Westeros, providing insight into the realm's tumultuous history. Accompanied by over eighty illustrations by Doug Wheatley, this chronicle offers a rich and engaging account of the Targaryens, inviting readers to delve into the dramatic and often bloody past of Westeros with the same grand scope as historical works like Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
