Here in the House of Canon, we're hard at work preparing the HOTD primer series that critics are calling "UNABASHEDLY GREAT" (Unleash the D S2) as well as getting ready for HOUSE OF THE DRAGON S2.
No episode today - instead, enjoy a reveal of our first three UNLEASH THE D guests, as well as when you can look forward to hearing the episodes hit your streams.
Buckle up - it's going to be a crazy (dragon) ride.

Chloe and Eliana read another GRRM short story from the Thousand Worlds universe: Butterbumps—wait, no, Bitterblooms. A girl lost during deepwinter gets swept away by a magical woman to journey among the stars... or does she?
Don't forget to check out "Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen, the song that inspired this story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76OOON5QYr0

Top regrets of my life: Not splitting these Jon chapters to make more than two episodes, because WOW. What a ride. Griff decided to add an extra syllable to make himself a "griffin," once more. That's right, Jon Connington is back, and he's taking prisoners (it's his family). Welcome home, how's it feel to be back, strolling down memory lane? Well, Jon Con's got thoughts on that.

We have waited six years to finally get to this POV... but that's only half as much time as Jon Connington has been pretending to be dead. A lost lord finds himself as his hand count down his time left in the story.
