Given that the upcoming series is a prequel, HBO has introduced us to an entirely new cast of characters, with familiar faces we might recognize from other HBO shows. For those reasons, it’s hard to tell how faithfully House of the Dragon will tell the stories from Fire and Blood. Game of Thrones followed the books closely and with little deviation for the first four seasons, after which substantial changes to the characters and plot were made at least partly due to the source work not being finished at the time. The gap between the end of Fire and Blood and the beginning of Game of Thrones hasn’t been written about in depth, but Martin has said he plans on writing Fire and Blood part 2 when he’s finished the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
The end of Fire and Blood doesn’t lead directly into the events of Game of Thrones, closing out roughly 150 years before the fateful day Robert Baratheon (played by Mark Addy in Game of Thrones) shows up at King’s Landing to enlist Ned Stark Sean Bean as Hand of the King. The book picks up with Aegon’s conquest, which marked the very beginning of a new world order and the establishment of King’s Landing. Since the novel has been out for about some time now, we have a pretty good idea of what we can expect in the series. Martin’s Fire & Blood is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and tells the story of House Targaryen.
