Get your fix of gritty drama 😎 House of the Dragon has left audiences firmly rooted to the edge of their seats for nearly two months now.

But unfortunately all good things must come to an end and the curtain has come down on the second series of the hit HBO show - and Game of Thrones spin-off - with the highly anticipated season finale airing on 4 August in the USA. Worry not though, Team Green and Team Black will return for a third outing in the future after being renewed early in the summer. However it might be an agonising wait for fans, given the nearly two year gap between the first two seasons.

A second Game of Thrones spin-off - A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - is currently filming and is expected to arrive in 2025, which will help sate the appetite of fans. But if you are wanting to get your fix of epic, gritty, fantasy drama I’ve pulled together a list of books that could help fill the dragon shaped hole in your heart.
