Here's What Happens To Lucerys Velaryon From 'House Of The Dragon' In The Book
In 'House of the Dragon', even the youngest members of the Targaryen family tree can have a major role to play. While young Lucerys Velaryon begins as a minor player in a war waged by adults, his final moments are anything but minor. The "Fire & Blood" book, which forms the basis of the TV series, revealed that he was involved in a major turning point in the conflict long before that fateful moment played out onscreen in the Season 1 finale of "The House of the Dragon". Here's everything the book "Fire & Blood" reveals about the character of Lucerys.

The relationship between Lucerys and RhaenaWhen Luke was 3 years old, he was engaged to his cousin Rhaena Targaryen, who is the youngest daughter of Daemon Targaryen and Laena Velaryon. When the Dance of the Dragons plunges Westeros into civil war, Luke is only 13 and Rhaena is only 12, both still too young to officially marry.
Near the start of the war, Luke is sent on a mission by his mother: as an envoy to Storm's End to speak with Lord Borros Baratheon. There, Borros asks Luke if he will marry one of the four Baratheon girls, but Luke d...
