Naturally, if you watched Game of Thrones, you'll remember Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, and her fight to reclaim the Iron Throne. The long-gestating intention by HBO to extend the world of Game of Thrones beyond the main series has finally borne fruit with House of the Dragon.

House of the Dragon takes place during that time period, taking us back nearly 200 years to the heyday of House Targaryen in Westerosi history. It is about the Dance of the Dragons, a Targaryen civil war that pitted brother against brother, uncle-husband against brother-husband, and dragon against dragon.
