Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon: Game of Thrones and the Official Untold Story of the Epic Series

A book that became a global hit presents the first official chronicle of the creation of the most famous TV series in history. You don’t need to be introduced to “Game of Thrones” and its key characters. Young Daenerys strives to return home and take the throne; the brave Jon Snow seeks his place in the world; the clever Tyrion Lannister refuses to resign himself to his fate; and Ned Stark’s children are forced to grow up too soon. Fate brought them together to fulfill an ancient prophecy. They all went through losses, betrayals, and mistakes—but thanks to willpower and a drive for justice, they overcame the trials.

However, the series’ path to the screens was no less difficult. Disappointed with film, George Martin conceived “Game of Thrones” as something that was impossible to adapt for television. Yet a few years later, HBO took the risk—and now the whole world knows how the eight-season saga ended. The book is based on 50 candid interviews with people involved in the production—from producers to actors—who share what they had to endure for the filming and which moments stayed with them forever.
