On March 9th, 2022, Martin revealed that he was considering the title Blood & Fire for the second volume. When announcing the publication date of Fire & Blood on his Not a Blog, Martin revealed the manuscript to be 989 pages long. In April 2018, Martin said that Fire & Blood, Volume Two will be completed "a few years down the pike." In July 2017, Martin reported that the first volume of Fire & Blood was already largely written, whereas the second volume remains largely unwritten. The first volume, simply called Fire & Blood, covers the history of Westeros from Aegon's Conquest up to and through the regency of Aegon III Targaryen.
On July 22nd, 2017, Martin revealed on his Not a Blog that the material for Fire & Blood had grown so large that the decision had been made to publish the fictional histories of the Targaryen kings in two volumes. Garcia reported that – in addition to the never-published material developed for The World of Ice & Fire – Martin also created entirely new material for the book, having "worked some on just fleshing out a bit" the long reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, which was previously only glossed over in the text known as "Heirs of the Dragon".
In February 2017, Elio Garcia, Martin's co-author of The World of Ice & Fire, reported that he had spoken with Martin at WorldCon 75, held in 2017 in Helsinki, about the first volume of Fire & Blood. This entire historical account is said to cover Targaryen history through the reign of Aegon V Targaryen. Īs of 2014, more than 200,000 words had been written for Fire & Blood. The great majority of this covered Aegon's Conquest up to the end of the Regency of Aegon III. These sections were written by Martin on his own however, he wrote much more than at first intended, and in the end delivered 180,000 words on Targaryen history.
The World of Ice & Fire, written from the perspective of Maester Yandel, contains sections from the perspective of Archmaester Gyldayn. Much material published in Fire & Blood originates from the writing of Martin's 2014 book The World of Ice & Fire.
