The perfect read and perfect gift for Game of Thrones fans

The official, definitive oral history of the blockbuster show from Entertainment Weekly 's James Hibberd, endorsed by George R. R.

Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon shares the incredible, thrilling, uncensored story of Game of Thrones , from the creators' first meetings with George R. R. Martin and HBO through the series finale, including all the on-camera battles, off-camera efforts, and the many controversies in between. The book also features more than fifty candid new interviews, rare and stunning photos, and unprecedented access to the producers, cast, and crew who took an impossible idea and made it into the biggest show in the world.

Includes index.
