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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing more than 160 illustrations that artist Gary Gianni created specifically for this book, \u003ci\u003eA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn't dead--yet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Stirring . . .
