The fire and blood - George R. R. Martin
"Fire and Blood" is not classified as a novel, but belongs to a branch of fantasy literature known as "Alternate History," opened by George R. R. Martin, through the voice of the historian Maester Gildain, with the story of Aegon the Conqueror who sought to unify the Seven Kingdoms and forge the Iron Throne, followed by the narration of the prominent events in the eras of subsequent generations of House Targaryen, which sat on this iconic seat and fought over it, until the civil war that nearly destroyed the family, and its dire consequences. What happened during the dance of the dragons? Why did visiting Valyria after the destruction become a deadly risk? Where did Daenerys' dragon eggs come from? These are some of the questions answered by the book in this history of the first one hundred and thirty years of House Targaryen rule. Author: George R. R. Martin Translator: Fergham Team Review: Hisham Fahmy Number of pages: 968 pages
