This lengthy fictional history starts with the conquest of Westeros by Aegon I. Sure, it goes back a little further and tells, in brief, how Aenar, Aegon's dad, left Valyria right before the fall and started the journey west (I think) with his extended family and his dragons. The rest of the book is interesting and gives a brief glimpse at each of a whole bunch of Targaryens and other Westerosies. There are a lot of conflicts, wars using dragons, fights between family members, fights between family members while riding dragons, and the deaths of all the dragons. Not a great book for an engaging story arc, more of something to be read in short bursts. Fun for fans of the whole Ice and Fire world.
