Collider’s ownMaggie Lovittgot a sneak peek at the book ahead of its publication and shared that,
“The Rise of the Dragon’s stunning illustrations make it a must-have collectible forGame of Thronesenthusiasts who have been swept up in the rich Targaryen lore ofHouse of the Dragon. It’s unfortunate that the books' release has been marred bythe credible allegations of racism against its co-author, which will limit how many people will get to enjoy this history-steeped tome. "

For hundreds of years, the Targaryens sat the Iron Throne of Westeros while their dragons ruled the skies. The story of the only family of dragonlords to survive Valyria’s Doom is a tale of twisty politics, alliances and betrayals, and acts both noble and craven. THE RISE OF THE DRAGON chronicles the creation and rise of Targaryen power in Westeros, covering the history first told in George R. R. Martin’s epic FIRE & BLOOD, from Aegon Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros through to the infamous Dance of the Dragons—the bloody civil war that nearly undid Targaryen rule for good.
The images, which you can se below, are a stunning look into the world of Westeros and the Targaryens and the prints highlight the power they once had.
