While the sixth book in the Song of Ice and Fire series is still in the works, author George R.R. Martin has offered up a series precursor of sorts in the form of a novella.
Entitled "The Princes and the Queen, or The Blacks and the Greens," the story is a historical outline of Westeros ages and ages before King Joffrey got his hands on the Iron Throne. Detailing a civil war between a Princess Rhaenyra and Queen Alicent that utilizes dragons. Lots and lots of dragons.
As io9 writes:
You learn a lot more about dragon husbandry in this story, including the mechanics of just who can and cannot ride a dragon, and there's also a ton of detail about dragon battle strategy.
Dragon battle strategy.
It's like a sexed-up, geekified history of the German Luftwaffe.
