It’s yet another instance of showrunners Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik (the latter of whom will not be returning for season two) taking Martin’s source material and using it as a launch point for its own fresh narrative. Martin’s fictional history book, the basis of the prequel series' plot, were waiting with bated dragon breath all season long for Rhaenyra Targaryen ( Emma D’Arcy) to accept her father’s crown, only to lose something much more precious: her son, Luke ( Elliot Grihault), the highest-profile casualty yet in a war known throughout Westeros history as “The Dance of the Dragons.”Īnd yet, those same readers were likely shocked, and perhaps even a bit baffled, by the way Luke’s death played out. House of the Dragon flew high one last time with its season finale, “The Black Queen,” an episode as mesmerizing as it was mystifying for the Fire and Blood faithful.
