what is knight of the seven kingdoms about

"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is a collection of three fantasy novellas by George R.R. Martin, also known as "Tales of Dunk and Egg." Set about 90 years before the events of "Game of Thrones," it follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, a humble hedge knight (a wandering knight without a master), and his young squire, Egg, who is later revealed to be Aegon V Targaryen, a future king. The stories depict their journey through the Seven Kingdoms during a time when the Targaryen dynasty sits on the Iron Throne and dragons are still remembered. The novellas center on Dunk's chivalry and trials, including tournaments, battles, and navigating court politics, with Egg growing up alongside him. Additionally, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" has been adapted into a TV series debuting on HBO Max, exploring these characters' exploits in a more light-hearted tone compared to "Game of Thrones." The series is set a century before "Game of Thrones," showing Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg facing formidable foes and perilous adventures while the Targaryen line still rules Westeros.
