NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of
Thrones 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. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS
OF THE YEAR BY LOS ANGELES TIMES AND BUZZFEED 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. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there
was Dunk and Egg. A young naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall
towers above his rivals-in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire a
boy called Egg-whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable
heroes may not be found in all of Westeros great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do
powerful foes royal intrigue and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new
illustrations by Gary Gianni A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that
proves chivalry isn't dead-yet. Praise for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Readers who already
love 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.-Booklist 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. . . . [Gianni's illustrations] really bring the
events of the novellas to life in beautiful fashion.-Tech Times 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.-Kirkus Reviews (starred
review) Pure fantasy adventure with two of the most likable protagonists George R. R. Martin
has ever penned.-Bustle A must-read for Martin's legion of fans . . . a rousing prelude to
[his] bestselling Song of Ice and Fire saga . . . rich in human drama and the colorful
worldbuilding that distinguishes other books in the series.-Publishers Weekly
