Blood of the Dragon by George RR Martin

The novella ‘Blood of the Dragon’ was first published in the July Protected content of the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, and a month later incorporated in ‘A Game of Thrones’, first of seven novels in the epic fantasy series ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, by American author George RR Martin.

The novella comprises the Daenerys Targaryen chapters, opening with the conspiracy of her exiled brother, prince Viserys Targaryen, to sell the thirteen year old Daenerys in marriage to Khal Drogo of the Dothraki. Khal Drogo commands a clan of forty thousand mounted warriors and Viserys intends to use Drogo’s army to reclaim The Seven Kingdoms from the usurper Robert Baratheon.

The novella received the Protected content Award for Best Novella.
