The series chronicles the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and Prince Aegon V Targaryen (Egg) as they travel through Westeros, set about a century before the television series Game of Thrones. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has as its source material the lighthearted episodic tales of a lowborn but honorable knight and his squire, who more often stumble into adventure than seek it out.
