A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Synopsis

Set nearly a century before the epic events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms introduces readers to the unlikely duo of Ser Duncan the Tall, a towering yet naive hedge knight, and his diminutive, secretly royal squire, Egg. This collection compiles three official prequel novellas—The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight—offering a vivid glimpse into an age when the Targaryen dynasty reigned supreme on the Iron Throne and the memory of dragons still lingered. As Dunk and Egg journey across Westeros, they stumble into grand tournaments, intricate feuds, and dangerous political intrigues, encountering both honorable lords and cunning adversaries. Their adventures, filled with chivalry, humor, and burgeoning destinies, paint a rich tapestry of a land on the cusp of significant change, showcasing Martin's unparalleled world-building and character development through the eyes of two of his most endearing protagonists. The book is enhanced by over 160 illustrations, making it a visual as well as narrative feast.
