Publisher's Summary

Centuries before A Game of Thrones, an even greater game began, one that set the skies alight with dragon flame and saw the Seven Kingdoms turned to ash.

So began the Targaryens’ bloody rule, with fire and blood. Setting brother against brother, mother against daughter, and dragon against dragon. Chronicled by a learned maester of the Citadel, this thrilling and bloody history of Westeros tells the story of where the battle for the Iron Throne began....

This audio edition now includes an exclusive interview between George R.R. Martin and historian Dan Jones.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

I haven't finished the book yet, but from what I have seen in the show and read in the book, the story is amazing and both the author and narrator tell the story in an enchanting way. definitely recommend this audio book to any fan of George R. R. Martin's many books or any fantasy book be it.

From Start to Finish ...

I was captured and drawn in by the narrator's suitably regal voice, the story of the rise and fall of the Targaryens and the dragons who were amazingly beautiful. Highly recommended.

Like true history.

Loved listening to this book. Almost felt like I was reading true history. Well isn't most history a collection of stories. Beautifully read. Amazing imagery.
