What to expect for Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon Season 3 based on the book

As a seasoned gamer and avid fan of the Song of Ice and Fire saga, I can’t help but feel both the anticipation and trepidation that comes with the impending Season 3 of House of the Dragon. With its rich tapestry of political intrigue, dragon fire, and the Dance of the Dragons, this series has been a captivating journey so far, much like my countless hours spent navigating the digital realms of epic fantasy games.


In the upcoming seasons of “House of the Dragon,” the Dance of the Dragons is far from over. Unfortunately, we’ve got some time on our hands before the next season arrives, but let’s keep an optimistic eye towards what lies ahead

The third season of “House of the Dragon” is poised as the second last, even though HBO hasn’t confirmed a fourth season yet, there are definite plans for it and it will bring the tale of the Dance of the Dragons to its conclusion. Will Rhaenyra survive until the end?

We can examine the original content for a sense of what’s coming up next. Although the series has modified certain aspects of this original content, we anticipate that the main storyline will remain intact. This includes the events surrounding Rhaenyra, particularly now that she is heading to King’s Landing

Yes, we’re looking at the book storyline for this. Expect spoilers!

Rhaenyra sits on the Iron Throne in House of the Dragon

Towards the close of Season 2 of “House of the Dragon”, Alicent Hightower journeyed to Dragonstone. Her aim was to secure Rhaenyra Targaryen’s claim to the throne, and she extended an invitation for Rhaenyra to enter King’s Landing unopposed. Indeed, Rhaenyra arrived at King’s Landing in the series, but it’s worth noting that in the book, Rhaenyra does ascend to the Iron Throne

Her rule does not last long; she occupies the throne for just six months. Moreover, the seat of power reportedly causes her pain, which is often seen as an unfavorable omen. It’s important to note that the book tends to portray the Greens favorably, so it may be wise to consider this bias when interpreting the events

The common people begin to rise in rebellion, led by a man known as The Shepherd. With the belief that dragons can be slain, a band charges the Dragonpit, resulting in the death of several dragons. Among those killed was Syrax, leaving Rhaenyra without a dragon since she was compelled to escape King’s Landing

Will we get Rhaenyra’s return to Dragonstone in House of the Dragon Season 3?

As I delve deeper into this epic tale, it’s clear that the narrative thus far has merely scratched the surface of ‘The Dance of the Dragons’. The second season presented but a fragment of this intricate conflict. Yet, there’s so much more to unfold in the following six months of Rhaenyra’s reign, and it’s plausible that we might only witness this small portion in House of the Dragon Season 3

If the series introduces Rhaenyra’s return to Dragonstone next season, it could lead to her demise. Unaware that Aegon has also arrived at Dragonstone, Rhaenyra doesn’t suspect danger. It’s there that Aegon commands Sunfyre – a dragon believed to be dead in the storyline, adding intrigue to this plot development – to attack and ultimately consume Rhaenyra

Although the Dance of the Dragons isn’t completely over yet, it’s not entirely true. Not everyone supports Aegon on the throne, but who does he select as his successor? We’ll delve into the future for each character in our next post and address that question there. However, I anticipate this storyline will unfold in Season 4 of House of the Dragon
