Yo peoples,
Sorry that no new chapters have been posted for a little while. The first chapter of Realm of Ice and Fire: Thunderlord is taking longer than expected to finish. The main reason is that I’m essentially writing Episode One of the show scene by scene—I’m actually rewatching the episode while writing the chapter so I can capture the details properly. Because of that, progress has been a bit slow.
This story will follow the show’s version of events more closely, so apologies to those who prefer the book canon. That said, I’ll still be adding plenty of my own ideas and twists to the story. My version of the Dance of the Dragons will be very different from the one you already know. Don’t worry though—it will still lead toward the fall of most of the Targaryen dragons and eventually connect to the distant future events of Game of Thrones.
Another important difference in this story: Balerion the Black Dread is still alive, though he has become a wild dragon, no longer bound to a rider or the Dragonpit.
Alongside writing the first chapter for this book, I’ve also been spending time creating and sketching characters and creatures for my Songs of Pandora and Black Knight story. So a fair bit of my time has been split between writing and designing the world and its inhabitants.
One last thing—chapters in this book will generally be longer, so they’ll take more time to write, but hopefully they’ll be worth the wait.
Thanks for sticking with the story. More is coming soon.
