“House of the Dragon” will have several seasons in which it will explain the future of its characters. The HBO series is expected to faithfully take many aspects of “Fire and Blood,” the George RR Martin book it’s based on, including how the deaths of dragons and their riders will be.
While it will be time to see them on screen, we will tell you what the book says about the ending of each of them.
From now on, there will be spoilers for the future of “House of Dragon” and the book “Fire and Blood” by George RR Martin.
