"House of the Dragon" has left Aegon's fate unclear after the latest episode, but in "Fire and Blood," he survives a nasty battle.

Aegon's fate on 'House of the Dragon' is left unclear — here's how he dies in the books

The one-eyed prince is a formidable foe, and many are wondering what fate awaits him – so, how does Aemond Targaryen die in the story of House of the Dragon?. House of the Dragon Season 2 opened with the fallout from Aemond‘s horrific killing of Luke. Whether it was 100% intentional is up for debate, but his permanent wrath for most of his family makes him one of the more memorable villains in the Game of Thrones spinoff.

House of the Dragon: How does Aemond Targaryen die?

Looper

In many ways, "House of the Dragon" is currently surpassing its predecessor, HBO's massive juggernaut series "Game of Thrones." Based on the way that "Game of Thrones" ended — disappointing fans to the point where they actually started a petition to redo the final season — this isn't, at this point, a difficult bar to clear. Based on George R.R. Martin's novella "Fire & Blood," the prequel and spin-off focuses on a bloody civil war waged amongst members of the Targaryen family, whose royal heritage is related to the fact that they, alone among the Westerosi houses, have the power to bond with and ride dragons. Coming into the show, fans were already familiar with the three miraculous dragons born to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) — Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion — seen on "Game of Thrones," but thanks to the fact that "House of the Dragon" is set 172 years before Daenerys' birth and during the heyday of dragons, there are plenty more to meet in this series.

House Of The Dragon Fans All Have The Same Complaint About The Dragons

New York Post

Watching the second season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon” has been a lot like running into an old acquaintance from high school at a bar.

You vaguely recognize them from afar. Perhaps they sat in the back during Ms. Carp’s English Lit class. Or was it Chemistry? One thing is certain: You have no idea what their name is.

This is how I feel, two years on, about 99% of the Targaryen family. After casually devouring Season 1 as though it was not delivery, but DiGiorno, I still don’t know Aemond from Aegon.

This HOUSE OF THE DRAGON review contains spoilers. Exhaustively researched and extensively detailed, Annie Jacobsen’s book, Nuclear War: A Scenario, presents what a 24-hour period during a hypothetical nuclear exchange would look like. As the nukes begin to fall on the United States, Russia, Western Europe, and the Korean Peninsula, Jacobsen imagines what must be going through the heads of the politicians, soldiers, and civilians about to be vaporized. Most of those thoughts amount to: This wasn’t supposed to happen. Nuclear deterrence was supposed to hold.

It’s admittedly been a long time coming, but House of the Dragon is finally giving the people what they want. Season 2 has been slow to depict the Dance of Dragons, the civil war that divides the seven kingdoms and splits House Targaryen in two.
