Everything You Need to Know About 'House of the Dragon'

​What’s the source material?

​The series is largely based on Martin’s 2018 novel Fire & Blood, which charts the history of the House Targaryen over the floods of some 736 pages. Fans may remember this encyclopedic book as one of the many projects the authorized undertook instead of completing the much-anticipated (and much-delayed) sixth modern in the original A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter. But that’s not the only source material. Martin wrote on his blog, “If you’d like to know a bit more of what the show will be in ... well, I can’t actually spill those beans, but you considerable want to pick up a copy of two anthologies I did with Gardner Dozois, Dangerous Women and Rogues.” For reference, Dangerous Women is a fantasy anthology emanated in 2013 that includes the Martin novella The Princess and the Queen, or, the Blacks and the Greens, about a civil war between a Targaryen princess and her stepmother. Rogues, meanwhile, was another anthology published the following year that includes the novella The Rogue Prince, or, a King’s Brother, which traces the story of King Viserys I Targaryen’s brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen.
