About this audiobook

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE HBO® ORIGINAL SERIES HOUSE OF THE DRAGON.

Centuries before A Game of Thrones, an even greater game began, one that set the skies alight with dragon flame and saw the Seven Kingdoms turned to ash.

This audio edition now includes an exclusive interview between George R.R. Martin and historian Dan Jones.
