About “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”
Taking place nearly a century before A Game of Thrones, this volume compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, set when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne. It follows hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, a boy called Egg whose true name is hidden from those they meet, as they encounter powerful foes and royal intrigue.
Praise for “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”
“Readers who already love [George R. R.] Martin and his ability to bring visceral human drama out of any story will be thrilled to find this trilogy brought together and injected with extra life.”
“The real reason to check out this collection is that it’s simply great storytelling. Martin crafts a living, breathing world in a way few authors can. . . . [Gary Gianni’s illustrations] really bring the events of the novellas to life in beautiful fashion.”
“Stirring . . . As Tolkien has his Silmarillion, so [George R. R.] Martin has this trilogy of foundational tales. They succeed on their own, but in addition, they succeed in making fans want more.”
