Ultimately, the Blacks<\/strong> win the Dance of Dragons war in the book Fire and Blood.<\/p>\n

However, this does not come until after the most grievous losses on both sides in the conflict and the deaths of many key players.<\/p>\n

After the deaths of the sons of King Aegon II Targaryen, revenge is sought on Dragonstone when\u00a0Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen is executed by Aegon\u2019s dragon Sunfyre in front of her fourth son, Prince Aegon Targaryen, who was taken prisoner but is now his heir.<\/p>\n

Following this victory and the retaking of King\u2019s Landing from rebels, the armies of the Greens are defeated on the Kingsroad and it becomes clear that the Blacks will soon retake the capital.<\/p>\n

Rhaenyra and Daemon\u2019s son Prince Aegon is freed and ultimately crowned King Aegon III Targaryen.<\/p>\n

The deaths of the majority of all living dragons during the conflict see the new monarch dubbed Aegon the Dragonbane.<\/p>\n
