12 times Rhaenyra Targaryen's decline was foreshadowed in House of the Dragon season 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite being proclaimed her father’s rightful heir, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) spends much of the first two seasons of House of the Dragon fighting to prove she deserved to rule Westeros. The third season, which aired this year, finally sees her sit on the Iron Throne, but at a hefty cost. The second episode of the season sees Rhaenyra triumphant, with significant assistance from her husband-uncle Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith). Yet, the victory is followed by ominous signs that it is the
House of the Dragon showrunner has a surprising take on Daemyra shippers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
George R.R. Martin’s fictional world can be known for its incongruous, controversial relationships, and at the heart of it, for the moment, is the pairing of House of the Dragon’s Daemon (Matt Smith) and Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). Game of Thrones portrayed the incestuous affair between Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) as something that desperately needed to be a secret. That is not the case for characters in House of the Dragon. In the universe of A Song of

Read excerpt
This week's House of the Dragon episode saw the Black army show off Ser Criston Cole's (Fabien Frankel) head on a spike.

The much-disliked yet complicated character of Criston Cole breathed his last in House of the Dragon season 3 episode 6, “Faceless Men.” Some fans were overjoyed that after making a living out of violent and misogynistic comments since Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) rejection, the so-call

Read excerpt
The Empyrean readers will fly back to Basgiath later this year, but likely without the chance to have most of their questions answered. Back in April 2026, when Rebecca Yarros announced that she would be releasing a new Empyrean series book, which is NOT the fourth book in the pentalogy, many readers speculated that the new book would help further the lore of Violet Sorrengail’s world. Proving them right, Yarros announced on June 15, Conscription Day, that the new book is called Threshing Day an
Helaena Targaryen revelation could make things 'problematic' for Rhaenyra, says House of the Dragon showrunner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
House of the Dragon season 3 episode 4 “Tumbleton” did little to help Rhaenyra Targaryen's (Emma D’Arcy) growing paranoia. She has been having a nightmare of a first week at work, between an empty coffer, Corlys Velaryon's (Steve Toussaint) condemnation, and Daemon Targaryen's (Matt Smith) lie about Sheepstealer’s rider. As if things weren’t bad enough for her, now she possibly has a new line of succession contender to worry about. Because Helaena Targaryen (Phia Saban) is pregnant. At one point
