A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

This book compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, "A Song of Ice and Fire". These never-before-collected adventures recount an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living consciousness. A naïve but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, towers above his rivals – in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg, whose true identity must be kept hidden: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Illustrated throughout by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time.
