House Targaryen
“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,” according to the book’s description on the author’s site. “Fire & Blood, are the house words. The tale begins with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror. Aegon created the Iron Throne. The Targaryen’s fight and hold the iconic seat; all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.”
The Prince of Dragonstone receives the Old Castle, as an heir in the family. The Targaryens eventually built their summer residence, Summerhall. The younger sons are given Summerhall. Custom dictates this over time.
The dynasty ends with the death of Aerys the Mad King during Robert’s Rebellion. The Targaryens find themselves overthrown by House Baratheon. The two surviving children of Aerys II, Viserys, and Daenerys Targaryen fled into exile and resided in the Free Cities of Essos.

Casting
House Of The Dragon will replace the first prequel starring Naomi Watts. HBO threw out the first prequel, however, fans kept up their hope. GOT loyals figured a different prequel or sequel would be announced.
Writers and directors are tightlipped for the new and upcoming series House of the Dragon. Casey Bloys said, “One of the things about House of Dragons, there is a text, there is a book so that made it a little bit more of a road map for a series order.” The series will debut in 2022 and we’ll get more insights to casting as time gets closer to the premiere.
