A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

by George R.R. Martin · 2013

Set a century before the wars of Westeros, *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms* gathers George R. R. Martin’s three early novellas into a single adventure. The story follows the towering but inexperienced hedge‑knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his clever, diminutive squire, Egg—who is secretly the future Prince Aegon Targaryen. Together they wander a realm still ruled by the dragon‑bearing Targaryens, confronting roving bandits, royal intrigue, and the lingering echo of the last dragon’s fire. Their unlikely partnership reveals that chivalry and destiny can thrive even in a world of swords and schemers, offering fans a vivid glimpse of the world that would later become *A Song of Ice and Fire*.
