Supplementary Writings

• Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories:
  • The Princess and the Queen, or, The Blacks and the Greens: A novella written as an in-universe history text, narrating the events of the Dance of the Dragons, a war of succession between rival Targaryen branches 170 years before the time of the main series.
  • The Rogue Prince, or, The King's Brother: A novella narrating the exploits of Prince Daemon Targaryen, including the events leading to "The Princess and the Queen", published in June 2014 as part of an anthology of short stories Martin helped publish called Rogues. (Martin also provided the forward)
• Tales of Dunk and Egg: Novellas set 90 years before the conflict of the main series. Three tales - "The Hedge Knight", "The Sworn Sword" and "The Mystery Knight", have been published, but George R. R. Martin has announced that this will be an ongoing series that will eventually chronicle the complete adventures of Dunk and Egg. These have also been adapted as graphic novels.
• The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones (2014): A series encyclopedia, co-written by Martin, Garcia, and Antonsson. The book is framed as a history written by one Maester Yandel and presented to King Robert as a gift.
  • A World of Ice and Fire (a.k.a. A Game of Thrones Guide): A smartphone app offering details on a multitude of events, characters, and locations written by Elio M. Garcia Jr. and Linda Antonsson, the admins of popular fansite Westeros.org. Basically, a way to present a few extra notes here and there that didn't fit into the print World book.
• A Feast Of Ice And Fire (2012): invoked A Spin-Off Cookbook with details on meals featured in the novels.
• The Lands Of Ice And Fire (2012): A book of poster-sized maps, including regions of the world that have yet to be explored in the novels.

Live-Action Television

• Game of Thrones (2011-2019): An adaptation of the books by HBO, with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss as showrunners. Despite borrowing the title of the first book is an adaptation of the entire series, and between Seasons 1-4 adapted the first three books with reasonable faithfulness. The unusual circumstances of its conception and genesis (an adaptation of an as-yet incomplete series of novels), means that the later seasons have compressed books 4-5, and have invokedmoved past the chronology of the published books. The show finished before the author completed his books. Martin has been supportive of the project, writing the screenplays for one episode per season (for Seasons 1-4)^note He used to work in television; ironically, he returned to novels because he was tired of budget constraints limiting his imagination. This came back to bite him in the posterior when he was assigned to adapt the episode that contains one of the biggest and most complicated battles of the civil war; he noted with irony that the author had made the scene too damn big and expensive.. He also gave Weiss and Benioff the outlines for the remaining books in the series, which had come in handy once they started outpacing him.
• House of the Dragon (2022-): A prequel to Game of Thrones from George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal that follows a Succession Crisis that will mark the beginning of the end for House Targaryen. This prequel was picked up straight to series by HBO on October 29, 2019.
