House of the Dragon Season 1 ending explained

Princess Rhaenys unexpectedly arrives on her dragon, interrupting Aegon II Targaryen's coronation ceremony. She opts to go to Dragonstone and join Rhaenyra's army instead of assaulting the Greens. A dramatic cliffhanger suggests the renowned "Dance of the Dragons" conflict between dragonriders at the episode's conclusion. Tragically, Prince Aemond and his dragon Vhagar killed Rhaenyra's son, Lucerys, heightening the tension. In light of this development, war seems imminent, particularly as Rhaenyra, who was previously uncertain, may now feel compelled to fight back in response to her son's death.

On June 17, House of the Dragon will return for a second season on JioCinema.
