What Season 2 of House of the Dragon

About 200 years before Game of Thrones, King Viserys I Targaryen must decide who will succeed him on a throne ruled by a dynasty that still keeps dragons. His daughter Rhaenyra is the heir, and the court never takes its eyes off her. Around them move Daemon, the Rebel Prince, and Alicent Hightower, Rhaenyra's childhood friend. Loyalties begin to crumble. After Aegon II's coronation and the death of Rhaenyra's son, House Targaryen splits in two. Aegon rules from King's Landing with Alicent and the Green Council, while Rhaenyra and her Black Council plot their move from Dragonstone. Civil war looms over the realm, and both sides seek the support of the great houses of Westeros.
