#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The 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 and featuring more than eighty black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. 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

Great color for presentations
This paper feels very substantial and high-quality. It has a super bright finish that makes colors pop, and it never jams in my printer. Ideal for professional documents or presentations.

My go-to paper for my Junk Journaling printing
Size: 1 Ream | 500 Sheets, Style: Letter (8.5x11)
This is my go-to paper for printing out my junk journal printables. Unfortunately, my HP Smart Tank 7600r doesn't handle cardstark gracefully but this paper is a very good substitute. The ink pops nicely giving the amazing images a quality ground they deserve.

Not what I was looking for but still a good purchase

In my quest to find a cheaper alternative to the HP Premium 32 paper (to use as nib calligraphy paper), I bought this ream of paper to try. The texture is smooth and the weight and GSM match the HP32 ream, despite it being premium color copy paper. It holds most fountain pen inks well, with some minor exceptions (see pic for details). This paper sucked up the Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki ink like water (it's a watery ink, but still) which caused some feathering and "boldness" despite using a fine nib and the lightest pressure. The colors of the fountain pen inks do pop out with the brightness of the paper, which I do like. The same can be said about the Nikko G nib and sumi ink. I have not tried walnut ink yet, but I'll report back. This paper is good quality, but it's pretty much the same as the Hammermill Premium Laser Printer paper (which costs $5 less than this one). The Hammermill Premium Color copy paper has similar specs to the HP32, with similar price point as well, however, it performs like its sister brand (Hammermill Laser Print). Don't get me wrong, the quality of fantastic, especially if you want your reports and presentations pop. It just doesn't provide what I'm looking for when it comes to nib calligraphy, e.g. smooth lines and no feathering. Did I return it? No, because it performs well with most fountain pen inks and compared to the specialty paper designed for fountain inks, this ream and the laser one, work just as well and better for my wallet.
