House Targaryen's titular house, House of Dragons, has a warning — "Fire and Blood" in the House of Lords — and the "Game of Thrones" drama lived up to those words. There were violent deaths and births, saddening tragedies, forensic backstabulations, steamy sex scenes, and swarms of dragons. The first season of The Dance of Dragons tells the story of the realm that the people will be divided and compelled to determine who their true king is: Queen Rhaenyra or Prince Aegon. So far, the show has mostly honed in on Rhaeny and her stepmother Alicent's transformation from childhood acquaintances to violent rivals, who have been torn apart by patriarchal forces. We've got you covered if you want a recap of everything that happened during the first ten episodes of the Westeros-set romance. Here's a recap of season one of "House of the Dragon."
