内容简介

•坦格利安家族惊心动魄的历史在这部杰作中栩栩如生，HBO的《权力的游戏》前传系列《龙之屋》的灵感就来源于此

《火与血》的刺激感是马丁所有奇幻作品的刺激感：熟悉的神话被揭穿，整个修辞表被翻转。“娱乐周刊

在《权力的游戏》故事发生的几个世纪之前，坦格利安家族——一个在瓦雷利亚末日中幸存下来的龙王家族——就在龙石岛定居下来。《火与血》的故事从传说中的征服者伊耿开始，他是铁王座的创造者，接着讲述了坦格利安家族几代人为争夺这个标志性的座位而战，一直到内战几乎使他们的王朝分崩离析。

龙之舞期间到底发生了什么？为什么末日之后访问瓦雷利亚会如此致命？残忍的梅葛犯了什么罪？龙统治天空的维斯特洛是什么样子的？这些只是这本重要的编年史中回答的几个问题，由一位学城的学士讲述。在《冰与火的世界》等书中，读者们已经瞥见了这一叙事的一小部分，但现在，坦格利安家族历史的完整图景被揭示出来。

与吉本的《罗马帝国衰亡史》一样，《火与血》是坦格利安家族两部分历史的一卷，让读者对维斯特洛充满活力、经常是血腥的、总是迷人的历史有了全新的认识。

赞扬《火与血》

这是一部通俗历史小说的杰作。——《星期日泰晤士报》

这是一个丰富而黑暗的故事，充满了标题中承诺的元素. . . .对飞龙空降作战的描述，或者战败的统治者是应该“屈膝”、“穿上黑衣”加入守夜人军团，还是简单地迎接一个创造性的、可怕的结局，都让人很难不感到兴奋。”——《卫报》

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon

“The thrill of Fire & Blood is the thrill of all Martin’s fantasy work: familiar myths debunked, the whole trope table flipped. ”—Entertainment Weekly

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.

What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel’s worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.

With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

Praise for Fire & Blood

“A masterpiece of popular historical fiction. ”—The Sunday Times

“The saga is a rich and dark one, full of both the title’s promised elements. . . . It’s hard not to thrill to the descriptions of dragons engaging in airborne combat, or the dilemma of whether defeated rulers should ‘bend the knee,’ ‘take the black’ and join the Night’s Watch, or simply meet an inventive and horrible end. ”—The Guardian
