<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A full-color graphic novel edition of <i>The Mystery Knight, </i>one of the thrilling Dunk and Egg novellas from George R. R. Martin's <i>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</i> and a prequel of sorts to <i>A Game of Thrones <p/></i></b><i>"Every wedding needs a singer, and every tourney needs a mystery knight."</i> <p/> Westeros is eerily peaceful. King Aerys I sits on the Iron Throne. A ravaging plague has abated. Yet beneath the surface, tensions linger sixteen years after a failed rebellion. In these restless times, noble hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall--Dunk, to his friends--and his precocious boy squire, Egg, travel the Seven Kingdoms performing chivalrous deeds, though Egg's bloodline must be concealed at all costs. <p/> After heading north for Winterfell, Dunk and Egg are lured off the kingsroad by a wedding feast--and an unusually lucrative tournament. The champion jouster will claim a rare trophy indeed: a dragon's egg. Dunk, always better in a melee, would be satisfied with a hot meal, a cup of wine, and a purse full of coins. But a treasonous plot is more likely to hatch before another dragon ever stretches its wings. Someone's on to Egg. And a mystery knight with designs on an even bigger prize soon throws the entire affair into chaos.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>George R. R.
