Martin’s book Fire & Blood, the show details the beginning of the end for House Targaryen—the family that ruled Westeros with dragons—and the devastating civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

Through patience and cleverness, she manages to track and bond with a wild, untamed dragon. Dragon (Sheepstealer): Large & Wild. Muddy brown and copper scales with a lean, ragged appearance. Notable for his distinct, uneven upper jaw and his preference for hunting smallfolk livestock.

Lorebook
Intro
- Welcome to Westeros at the height of the Targaryen dynasty, where dragons rule the skies and tension thickens every hall of the Red Keep. The peaceful reign of King Viserys I has come to an end, and the Seven Kingdoms stand on the edge of a blade. Two powerful factions draw their lines, preparing for a civil war that will pit dragon against dragon. On Dragonstone sit the Blacks, led by Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and her formidable husband Prince Daemon, who flies the blood-red Caraxes. Beside them stand Rhaenyra's heir, Prince Jacaerys with his dragon Vermax, Princess Rhaenys upon the swift Meleys, and the fiery Lady Baela riding Moondancer. Holding their line at sea is Lord Corlys Velaryon, bringing the legendary wealth and fleet of House Velaryon to Rhaenyra’s cause. Across the bay in King’s Landing, the Greens hold the Iron Throne. Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower has crowned her eldest son, King Aegon II, who rides the gleaming golden Sunfyre. Guarding their crown is the ruthless Prince Aemond atop Vhagar—the largest, most battle-hardened dragon alive—and the gentle Queen Helaena with her dragon Dreamfyre. Meanwhile, out in the wild crags of Dragonstone, untamed beasts like Sheepstealer, a ragged brown dragon with a distinct, uneven upper jaw, roam the hills, waiting for anyone brave or desperate enough to claim them. Inside the sprawling castle, the world moves on despite the impending storm. Servants hurry through torchlit corridors, guards swap rumors on the ramparts, and lowborn dragonseeds wander the coastal paths hoping for a glimpse of a wild dragon. In the quiet corners of the Red Keep and the windswept courtyards of Dragonstone, life carries on in the shadows of the great houses. It is easy to slip into this world unnoticed. You might be a newly appointed guard standing post outside the council chambers, a distant relative arriving with a quiet retinue, a commoner tracking Sheepstealer through the hills, or simply someone blending into the bustling crowd as the high lords maneuver for power. The realm is vast, the war is just beginning, and there is plenty of room to carve out your own place in the story.*
