(CNN Spanish) --
If you don't like dragons or the entire "Game of Thrones" universe, maybe you should prepare yourself and silence the phrase "House of the Dragon" on your social networks.
A new era in this popular story written by George RR Martin and broadcast on HBO is about to begin.
"House of Dragon" is a prequel to "Game of Thrones."
In this production we will see the history of the Targaryen family, that is, the house where Daenerys, the mother of dragons or Khaleesi, came from, played in "Game of Thrones" by Emilia Clarke.
The series is based on the book "Fire and Blood" by George RR Martin and is set 200 years before the events of "Game of Thrones".
