'Game of Thrones' Season 8 spoilers: What George RR Martin's book 'Fire and Blood' tells us about the upcoming season

George RR Martin's new book 'Fire and Blood' predates the 'Game of Thrones' characters we know by 300 years and extensively details the history of Targaryens

Warning: Possible spoilers ahead

The last installment of 'Game of Thrones' is still a couple of months away but George RR Martin was kind enough to drop us a little gift last winter with the release of 'Fire and Blood'.

The book predates the 'Game of Thrones' world we have come to know by 300 years and extensively details the history of Targaryens. The book also has some juicy details which actually may become a part of the HBO show. Martin is known as the Tolkien of the modern world and his new book adds more depth to the characters in the 'Game of Thrones' mythology.

In an interview with Esquire last year, Martin claimed that Daenerys will actually benefit from reading the new novel. "Maybe if she understood a few things more about dragons and her own history in Essos, things would have gone a little differently," the author said.

So, here are a few details from the book that we feel will impact the final season of the show.
