HouseoftheDragon ended its first season with a brutal death—and set the stage for an even deadlier second season. Read roundhoward's episode recap:
The death of an old king made war within the realm a likelihood. The death of a young prince made it an inevitability.Game of Thrones
prequel’s calculus forever. When Viserys Targaryen died, blood was sure to flow through the city streets of King’s Landing and the further reaches of Westeros. Now, that blood is flowing furiously, thanks to a dance of the dragons miles above the Seven Kingdoms, between two children playing as men, armed with fire-breathing weapons of mass destruction.’s “The Black Queen” begins, Prince Lucerys Velaryon has death on the mind, just not his own.
Luke’s mother Rhaenyra doesn’t have much time to assuage Luke’s concerns over these looming responsibilities. In no time at all, a visitor comes to Dragonstone with ill tidings: Princess Rhaenys , newly arrived from King’s Landing with the dark wings and darker words about Viserys’s death, and the Hightowers taking the crown in kind.
Meanwhile, Rhaenyra’s husband-uncle Daemon, having previously lost a child of his own under similar circumstances, has no desire to go through those motions again. Instead, he has only one item on his agenda: war. The Rogue Prince makes his preparations to take the fight to King’s Landing, to challenge the Hightowers directly and remove Aegon from the throne by force.
The Targaryens receive their first and nearly only bit of good news sometime shortly thereafter, during the funeral of Rhaenyra and Daemon’s unborn child. As the funeral pyre rages, one of the brothers Cargyll, Ser Erryk , arrives with an item in hand: Viserys’s crown. Erryk publicly declares loyalty to Rhaenyra, bowing before the Queen Who Oughta Be.
