For some, the Targaryens were pure evil, while for others, they were great rulers - the truth can be found in this book. The epic prehistory of "A Song of Ice and Fire," known as the TV series hit "Game of Thrones," tells the rise and fall of House Targaryen. The audiobook takes place three centuries before George R.R. Martin's famous Westeros saga begins, when Aegon Targaryen conquered the continent of Westeros with his sister-wives and their three dragons. The reign of his descendants lasted for 280 years. They survived rebellion and civil war - until Robert Baratheon overthrew the mad king Aerys II from the Iron Throne. Adapted as "House of the Dragon" by HBO. Unabridged reading by Reinhard Kuhnert. 4 MP3 CDs, approximately 30 hours and 24 minutes.
