The civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons<\/a> has truly begun as fire and blood has been shared between the members of the royal family.<\/p>\n The conflicting sides of Queen Rhaenyra I Targaryen<\/a> (Emma D\u2019Arcy<\/a>) and King Aegon II Targaryen<\/a> (Tom Glynn-Carney) will no doubt bring the horrors of war to the Seven Kingdoms.<\/p>\n However, which new faces will grace our screens in the coming episodes of House of the Dragon?<\/p>\n Well, we can look to the source material Fire and Blood<\/a> by author George R.
