A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms

A century before A GAME OF THRONES; two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros... A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin's ongoing masterwork; A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg. A young; naive 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 hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: 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. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne; and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory; and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni; one of the finest fantasy artists of our time; this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.
