Fire and Blood: The Dying of the Dragons

Part Two.
This is not just a novel, but a historical work about the Targaryen dynasty.
Tyrion Lannister has not yet become a hostage of cruel fate, Bran Stark has not yet become crippled, and the head of his father Ned Stark has not yet rolled from the scaffold.

Westeros has not brought neighboring states to heel, and the Iron Throne, which according to the saying was forged in blood and flame, is still far from sated. A history as ancient as the world itself descends from the pages of crumbling manuscripts, and only we, septons, can separate true events from pitiful fables, and truth from slanderous calumny.
