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

Really good

THis book is about a huge hedge knight and his diminutive squire Egg, who actually is Aegon V. Targaryen, later also called Aegon the Unlikely. Back then he still is a boy of ten or something. Dunk and Egg fight in tournies, travel to Dorne and are pulled into an intrigue to topple the king. Good as a standalone but even better if you know the ASOIAF series. The information of this book also helps you to better understand the ASOIAF books (once there's a mention of some Targaryen princeling who died in a mishap and this book tells you how).
Tolle Geschichten und Illustrationen

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Das Buch teilt sich in drei Abschnitten auf, die je etwa 120-150 Seiten lang sind. Wir begleiten den Heckenritter Ser Duncan the Tall und seinen Knappen Egg auf ihren Abenteuern, wobei wir einen kleinen Enblick in die Targaryen Dynastie ihrer Zeit und vorallem der Blackfyre Rebellion - welche sich vor 15 Jahren abspielte, bekommen.
Alle drei Geschichten sind, wie man es von George gewohnt ist, ein Fantasy Meisterwerk mit reichlich world-building, tollen Zeichnungen und Charakterentwicklung. Für jeden Fan von 'a Song of Ice and Fire' also ein absolutes must have!
