The Dance of the Dragons is ultimately won by the Black side, but neither Aegon II Targaryen nor Rhaenyra Targaryen are alive when the war ends.
Dance of the Dragon claims the lives of almost all of the show’s central characters. We’ve already seen the death of Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) in the Battle of Rooke’s Rest. As the war intensifies, there will be battles such as the Battle of the Gullet which will kill Xacerys Velaryon (Harry Collette) and the Battle Above the God’s Eye which will kill both Amond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) and Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith).
Aegon Targaryen would be incapacitated after the attack on Rook’s Rest and King’s Landing and King’s Landing would fall to Raenyra Targaryen but she would have to leave the city after the rebellion and was eventually captured by Aegon and fed to the dragon Sunfire. Aegon will return to rule King’s Landing and rule briefly before being poisoned by Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint).
Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) outlives her children and survives the Dance of the Dragons but soon dies of winter fever.

After Aegon II Targaryen’s death, Rhaenyra’s son Aegon III Targaryen ascended the throne with the help of Lord Cregan Stark (Tom Taylor).
Cregan establishes the rule of Aegon III Targaryen and brings all the guilty to justice during the Dance of the Dragons. The event would be known as the Hour of the Wolf.
Aegon III Targaryen would rule for a long time and bring peace to the realm after the Dance of Dragons. As for the dragons, only four dragons survive the civil war. Sheepstealer, Silverwing, Morning and Cannibal are the dragons that survived the deadly battle.
