It is, without a doubt, the most awaited series of the moment. The first episodes of House of the Dragonthe series derived from Game Of Thrones, will be broadcast on August 22 on the HBO platform. To allow fans of the universe created by GRR Martin to wait, Télé Star offers you to understand the plot timeline of this brand new series.

As indicated by his name, House of the Dragon will focus on the Targaryen family and more specifically on the ancestors of Daenerys, the princess with overflowing ambition played by Emilia Clarke in the 8 seasons of Game Of Thrones. The plot of this spin-off will revolve around The Dance of the Dragons, a war of succession of the Targaryen dynasty which will notably lead to the loss of the famous dragons. It will oppose on one side Princess Rhaenyra, legitimate but disputed heir to the throne, and on the other, Queen Alicent Hightower and her son Aegon.
