Season 2 of the Game of Thrones prequel, House of The Dragon, featuring the ultimate saga between the Targaryens will soon end, with just the final episode left in line.

As the Dance of Dragons begins, we see the ruthless dragons set to engage in the war between the #Greens and the #Blacks, explaining why there's no dragon in the Game of Thrones. The seventh episode aired on Sunday, featuring the confrontation between Emma D’Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and Addam, who's flustered and wishes to serve Rhaenyra.

Many viewers might be curious about the bombshell moment: whether Rhaena Targaryen joins the Dance of Dragons with one of the wild dragons, possibly Sheepstealer.

Expect no mercy in the finale, as the Dragonriders along with their companions are thrust into tearing their rivals in Westeros apart over the Iron Throne.

Until now, viewers have witnessed Rhaenys and her dragon Meleys meeting their end, King Aegon with a fatal injury by his brother Aemond, who's all set to claim in Iron Throne, and the discarding of Alicent and Otto Hightower from the royal small council.

In the preview of Episode 8, while Ser Criston Cole has prepared massive destruction, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen is also set for battle with her Dragonriders and Dragonseeds. Daemon is also seen preparing his army for the final battle while Aemond is not sure whether Helaena will join the fight with her dragon.

After witnessing the long-standing battle between the Targaryens, the final episode will likely feature the climax. As Dance of Dragons continues, the Dragonseed will face the most intense and harsh fights, given the fact that they have just begun their journey with the creatures.

The impact of fights in the kingdom of Westeros could impact the balance of power between the #Greens and #Blacks. Moreover, Rhaena Targaryen who was sent to the Vale of Arryn is expected to join the battle with Sheepstealer, one of the most formidable and powerful wild dragons in the history of Fire & Blood.


Will there be House of the Dragon Season 3?

The current battle will end in Season 2's finale, but the new conflicts and differences among the characters will likely set the stage for a new season. Queen Rhaenyra, Daemon, and their allies are going to face the worst of the worst, and who knows how many characters will die in the final battle.

Additionally, HBO has confirmed that House of the Dragon Season 3 will soon make its way to fans' and viewers' screens.
