House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones precursor, is heading for a devastating deluge that will swallow all of Westeros. As is customary in Game of Thrones, there will be death and destruction at every turn, and fan-favorite characters will begin to fall like flies once Season 2 arrives. A piece of new information regarding Season 2 has recently come to light.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1: “A Son for a Son”
The first season of the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon ended with the death of a son; Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen’s son Lucerys Velaryon, at the hands of his uncle Aemond and his dragon Vhagar. And it seems like Season 2 will begin with the death of another son, but the son will be from the Greens’ side. The news was leaked via Redanian Intelligence.
Relevance of the title to Fire & Blood
In George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, while away on his conquest of Harrenhal, Daemon sends a Raven to Rhaenyra with a letter that reads: “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. Lucerys will be avenged.” The TV adaptation is likely referring to that, and the subsequent massacre of King Aegon II’s eldest son in front of his sister/wife Helaena.
