A full-color graphic novel edition of The Mystery Knight, one of the
thrilling Dunk and Egg novellas from George R. R. Martin's A Knight of
the Seven Kingdoms and a prequel of sorts to A Game of Thrones
"Every wedding needs a singer, and every tourney needs a mystery
knight."
Westeros is eerily peaceful. King Aerys I sits on the Iron Throne. A
ravaging plague has abated. Yet beneath the surface, tensions linger
sixteen years after a failed rebellion. In these restless times, noble
hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall--Dunk, to his friends--and his
precocious boy squire, Egg, travel the Seven Kingdoms performing
chivalrous deeds, though Egg's bloodline must be concealed at all costs.
After heading north for Winterfell, Dunk and Egg are lured off the
kingsroad by a wedding feast--and an unusually lucrative tournament. The
champion jouster will claim a rare trophy indeed: a dragon's egg. Dunk,
always better in a melee, would be satisfied with a hot meal, a cup of
wine, and a purse full of coins. But a treasonous plot is more likely to
hatch before another dragon ever stretches its wings. Someone's on to
Egg. And a mystery knight with designs on an even bigger prize soon
throws the entire affair into chaos.
