What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about?
After his elderly master dies, the goodhearted oaf Dunk suddenly becomes a knight. But he’s what they used to call a “hedge knight”—unattached to any noble house and forced to wander from place to place, taking whatever work he can as a mercenary. Dunk resolves to prove himself in a jousting tournament, hoping to win both money and glory, but he’s unprepared for the duplicitous cut-and-thrust world of courtly politics lurking behind the tournament’s polished façade. Luckily, his new squire, the slap‑headed kid Egg, seems far more canny. And there’s a reason for that…
