About this listen
SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SERIES
A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin’s ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.
A century before A GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros…
Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg.
A young, naïve but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals – in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg – whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.
Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.
©2015 George R. R. Martin (P)2015 Penguin Random House LLCCritic Reviews
"An absorbing, exciting read...Martin's style is so vivid that you will be hooked within a few pages." ( The Times)
"The sheer mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads.... Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias." ( Guardian)
"Colossal, staggering.... Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome in his imaginary world.... The writing is always powerful...." ( SFX)

A Knight To Remember!
I honestly enjoyed this more then Game of Thrones. It has the rich, complex world with interesting and loveable characters and an engaging narrative. I enjoyed the audiobook version read by Harry Lloyd (who plays Viserys Targaryen)! He embodies the characters and really brought them to life. His voices were consistent and fitting with the character's stations and backgrounds. I can't wait for more of these stories and I hope Harry Lloyd continues his narration of all Westeros novels!

ASOIAF is to LOTR as AKOTSK is to the Hobbit
A little less serious in tone at times than ASOIAF, thus the comparison to the Hobbit. Dunk is a Hedge Knight finding his place in the world and Egg is his squire who is learning what it means to be a subject of the iron throne. Be they Lords or knights, merchants or inn keepers, crofters or servants, and even Dornish.
A great prequel-ish series, also unfinished, yet enjoyable to listen to time and again. Truly rewards re-reading/re-listening, and Harry Lloyd does a great performance. He doesn't have the widest vocal range, yet he captures the characters well, especially Ser Duncan the Tall.
Buy it and love it <3

Better than ASOIF
Amazing sense of adventure. If you loved the hobbit, you’ll love this. Great production value too.

Absolutely perfect
Harry Lloyd’s voice acting and George RR Martin’s prose are a match made in heaven.
