HOUSE OF THE DRAGON IN A NUTSHELL

The show is based on George RR Martin’s novel, Fire and Blood, and essentially is about the start of the fall of the powerful House Targaryen who sits on the Iron Throne and leads Westeros.

At the heart of the drama is the relationship between Rhaenyra and her childhood best friend, Alicent Hightower, and the rift between them, which becomes the catalyst for the end of their centuries-long kingdom.

The twists and turns in their relationship lead to a power struggle and a civil war that tears the Targaryens apart.
