A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS

Never-before-collected stories from George R. R. Martin, set in the bestselling Game of Thrones world, 90 years before Game of Thrones begins! Complete with 160 black-and-white illustrations.

The three linked novellas in this compilation—which can be considered a sort of prequel to A Game of Thrones, given that they highlight a key bit of history leading up to those events—have been previously published in anthologies, but they are still relatively unknown to the Ice and Fire fans. Our heroes are the noble but impoverished hedge knight Duncan, and his bold squire—a boy known as Egg, but whose real name is Aegon Targaryen, and who will someday become King Aegon V, the Unlikely…and Daenerys’ great-grandfather.
