Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon: The Untold Story of the Making of Game of Thrones

It is unlikely that anyone needs an explanation of what "Game of Thrones" is and who its main characters are. Young Daenerys, wishing to return home and take her rightful place on the throne; brave Jon Snow, searching for his place in the world; cunning Tyrion Lannister, unwilling to accept his fate; and Ned Stark's children, who had to grow up too soon — all of them were united by Fate in fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. Each of the characters has gone through a long journey — they lost loved ones, experienced betrayals from friends and allies, made mistakes, and even died. Possessing incredible willpower and a desire to restore justice, the heroes overcame all trials of Fate one way or another. But you already know this, right? However, you probably do not know how difficult the journey of the series to the screen was. Disillusioned with cinema, Martin created "Game of Thrones" as a work that would be impossible to adapt. However, a few years later, HBO took the risk, and now the whole world knows how this eight-season-long story ended. This book is based on 50 candid interviews with all participants in the filming process — from producers to actors. Each of them will share what it was like to shoot the series, what they had to sacrifice, and which filming day they will remember for the rest of their lives.
