Feu et sang, le roman à l’origine de la série TV originale "House of the Dragon". "Au septième jour, une nuée de corbeaux jaillit des tours de Peyredragon pour propager la parole de lord Aegon aux Sept Couronnes de Westeros. Ils volaient vers les sept rois, vers la Citadelle de Villevieille, vers les seigneurs tant petits que grands. Tous apportaient le même message : à compter de ce jour, il n’y aurait plus à Westeros qu’un roi unique. Ceux qui ploieraient le genou devant Aegon de la maison Targaryen conserveraient terres et titres. Ceux qui prendraient les armes contre lui seraient jetés à bas, humiliés et anéantis."
