Our list of the best quotes from HBO TV series created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan J. Condal. House Of The Dragon is set three hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones and chronicles the rise and the downfall of the Targaryens, who are the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria, and the events leading up to the Targaryen civil war, known as the “Dance of the Dragons”.
We’ll add the best quotes once the series is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now here’s a small selection.
