A century before A Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros - Dunk and Egg. A young hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, a boy called Egg – whose true identity must be hidden from all - as 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. This novella is 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.
