🐉 “Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did.”

House of the Dragon is HBO’s epic prequel to the global phenomenon Game of Thrones. Set nearly 200 years before the rise of Daenerys Targaryen, this series dives into the golden age — and catastrophic fall — of House Targaryen, a family forged in fire and ruled by dragons.

🔥 Plot Overview

At the height of their power, the Targaryens rule Westeros with an iron will and dragonfire. But beneath the surface of peace lies bitter rivalries, succession disputes, and a growing civil war that threatens to shatter the realm.

The series centers around Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, named heir to the Iron Throne — a bold move that divides the royal court. As alliances shift and bloodlines are tested, the stage is set for the infamous conflict known as the Dance of the Dragons.
