House ofthe Dragon

The old king is dying and two claimants wait for the throne: the daughter he named heir, and the son his queen bore him. When the crown changes hands, a realm of dragonriders splits down the middle — blacks against greens, sister against brother, dragon against dragon — and a golden age burns itself to ash in a war the histories will call the Dance of the Dragons. Loyalty, ambition, and desire cut across every allegiance; no one at this court gets to want only one thing.

The Original Line

The Dance of the Dragons

The old king is dead and two courts crown two monarchs in a single week. Blacks and greens, sister and brother, and the dragons choosing sides. The Original Line of the Dance — ride it as it was, or break history your own way.

Official

The Green Council

The king dies in the night and before the body is cold the greens move — one room, one crown, one decision that dooms a realm. Everyone in the chamber wants something, and no one can leave until the succession is stolen clean.

Official

Dragonstone · The Black Queen

Word reaches the smoking island that the throne has been stolen. On Dragonstone the rightful queen holds her own council of blacks — and must decide how much of the realm she is willing to burn to take back what is hers.

Official

The Red Keep

King's Landing at court: every smile is a knife, every marriage a treaty, every secret worth a life. The most dangerous place in Westeros isn't the battlefield — it's the corridor between the throne room and the bedchamber.

Official

The Stepstones

The lawless island chain where the Rogue Prince made his name in blood and pirate-fire. Crab-fed shores, sellsail fleets, and a war fought for a crown no king in the capital cares to claim — until the man who wins it comes home dangerous.

Official

Harrenhal

The vast cursed castle the dragons melted, and every house that has held it since has fallen. Its halls are too big to warm and too old to trust — and the things that happen at Harrenhal have a way of deciding wars far away.
